Product Description
This award winning card game is for one or more players. It is recommended for ages six and above. The object of the game is to identify "sets" of three cards. Each card is unique in its four features; color - red, green or purple, symbol - diamond, squiggle or oval, shading - solid, striped or open, and number - 1, 2 or 3. A "set" consists of three cards on which each feature is either the same on all of the cards, or different on all of the cards. This game contains complete instructions for play, 81 cards, and a durable plastic carrying case.
Editorial Review
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. The Darwinian nature of the game (remember: everyone plays simultaneously) is certain to cause some feistiness among more competitive players. --Tom Keogh

Brain teaser for yourself or a group August 27, 2010
Ande
I first started hunting for this mind boggling card game when a friend shared it with me. I found Amazon the best and easiest way of purchasing multiple set games. I sent one back to the UK and my college bound Son took ownership of another. I not only do the card game but now do the daily puzzle on the computer. Great for kids, seniors, students, and any one wanting to exercise their minds in a fun and easy way. Travels well and doesn't need batteries. I would definitely pack a set game for trips or if I was going to be stranded on a dessert island or at a hospital waiting room.
Favorite Game Ever! August 25, 2010
E. Mills
I have been playing this card game for well over a decade now. I love it. LOVE IT! My mom introduced me to it when I was about 6 or 7 (I am now 22). We love to play it with new people and teach young kids. It is fun, exhilarating, adn challenging all at the same time!! I love SET!!
Great game (educational too)! August 24, 2010
L. Workinger
First played SET at a friends' house and was immediately addicted. As soon as I returned home, I purchased my own. Love that you can play by yourself or with a larger group, with young kids or older adults. It helps stimulate your brain as well.
Simple concept but addictive and fun! August 19, 2010
Steve
It's destined to be classic card game, potentially of "UNO" fame. Set! Set! Set! The concept of the game is so simple but the game is addicting-ly fun. For the money, its one of the best deals out there. There is a little learning curve to picking out the sets but once you get the hang of it, you will be scrambling for the cards in no time getting your SETs together. It definitely took me a few games to even be able to pick out the SETs, but I'm telling you, once you get going its one of the best card games around.
A great game August 15, 2010
Robert J. Krueger (St. Paul, MN)
SET is a great card game for all ages. It teaches kids about patterns and it keeps the adult mind sharp. Of course, the adults will be frustrated because the kids will learn it quickly and beat them every time. My eight year old daughter is a wiz. It is a quick game so you can use it as a filler for any down time, at home or on the road.

E-Z Bat Baseball Bat Toy is a Hit with Toddlers
The E-Z Bat (by Monkey Business Sports) was invented by a dad, probably because he was tired of pitching then retrieving 5000 baseballs a day. It's a simple concept that works! Kids thread the firm, foam-rubber donut-shaped ball on the end of the bat. A little stopper keeps it in place and it's a base hit every time. If you want to pitch the balls, the stopper comes off and that works just as w...
