A logic puzzle game designed by Marsha Falco in 1974. Physical copies of SET can be purchased from Play Monster.
The Playtime implementation of SET is single player without any AI opponent and is intended as a more medatative experience, compared to the proper physical card game where players race for points.
Click cards to select or deselect them, select 3 cards to confirm a set.
Click the draw deck to deal an additional 3 cards if you are unable to find a set. Playtime will automatically draw additional cards if there is no set in the currently dealt cards.
The menu contains a hint option, which will tell you the number of sets in the current deal and a hint on the attributes of a randomly chosen set.
Each card has 4 attributes, color, shape, style and count.
Select 3 cards (a set), where for each attribute, cards have all the same value or all different values. Each attribute is exclusive.
For example, 3 cards where each attribute is:
- red, red, red
- square, triangle, circle
- outline, outline, outline
- 2, 3, 1
is a set. Each color is the same, each shape is different, each style is the same and each card has different numbers of symbols.
Alternatively
- red, red, red
- square, triangle, circle
- outline, outline, outline
- 2, 2, 1
is not a set because the count attribute is not all the same, or all different.
