SET - The Family Game of Visual Perception

SET - The Family Game of Visual Perception

The SET® Game is a phenomenon!

SET is a card game of quick recognition and deduction. Each card contains one of three symbols (squiggles, diamonds, ovals) in varying numbers (up to three), colors (purple, green, red), and degrees of shading. A dealer arranges 12 cards, face up, and the players — without taking turns — hastily scrutinize the images for logical "sets" of three cards linked by combinations of sameness or difference. It's not as complicated as it sounds: examples include a trio of paired ovals with increasing levels of shading between cards, or disparate symbols in different colors which increase in number on each card (card one has a green squiggle, card two a pair of purple ovals, card three a trio of diamonds). The trick is to keep calm while trying to make the rapid connections.

This game is fun for young children, as well as adults! To play with young children (under the age of 6), start with the small deck (just the solid symbols). This eliminates one feature, color. Play the game following the original rules, but only lay out nine cards. When you can quickly see a 'Set' with this 27 card mini version, shuffle the two decks together.
