Create sets up, down and across the board; the more sets you create, the higher your score! As the number of dice on the board increases so do...

	Quiddler by SET Enterprises Inc. The challenge of Quiddler is to arrange your entire hand into words. Draw and discard in turn. Try to use those high point letters, but don't get caught with them uncombined! Quiddler is fast paced because you can play using everyday words. A bonus is given for the most words in each round (so little words can help you win), as well as for the longest word. Quiddler is a delightful challenge for both rookies and word game lovers. Quiddler is for up to eight players.

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

At first it was difficult, but the more times we played it the more we liked it. It is a great educational game for the whole family.

There are always math majors playing Set in the department; so much fun I had to have my own deck.

Great Game by Whisper (California)

SEt is a great game that is fun for kids and adults alike. I like it because you can play it with turns or you can play it by who sees the set first. I think this is a great educational tool because it uses both sides of the brain. I like to take it when we travel.

My 4 yr old loves this game by New Dad (Seattle)

I wanted to buy this based on the reviews and this game does not disappoint! My 4 yr old was able to pick up the rules quickly, and we play it almost daily with her - she LOVES it! And she does almost as well as us. We introduced it to her grandma and aunt and cousin and they all love it too. The game goes quickly and yet is a challenge every single time. It's a great game to take traveling since it's so small and lightweight. I highly recommend this card game!!!

Discouraging for young ones by Morphibian Fan

I bought this game for my 5.5 year old and it's definitely not a favorite. She has a difficult time identifying the four similiar and dissimiliar patterns on three identical cards, as do I and her dad. There is so much to think about that she gets frustrated, particularly when we have to constantly point out that she didn't make a match. While I think it has wonderful educational value, there is an enormous learning curve to consider when introducing it to kids. This is one game we'll probably put away for a couple of years and try again when she's older.
