FairProspects Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Where has this game been all my life? Ds and I had so much fun during math this morning :D. Are there any other games like this I should know about? I would love for math to be a blast more frequently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We love Set. I prefer the online version to the cards b/c I'm never quite sure when to give up. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I loved Set. I notice that now there's a 3-D version -- using small blocks you can turn to a particular pattern on a particular side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aludlam Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We own it, but I still don't get how to play it. Anyone want to give a quick "for dummies" tutorial??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Not the same as Set, but we also like Mastermind Gobblet Labyrinth Othello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elinnea Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We love Set too. Maya Madness is also a fun math card game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakereese Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 DS received SET for Christmas, this reminds me to pull it out to play this weekend. We have enjoyed so many new games this month! Here's a few more games from the SET family that you might like...more games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We love Set! Such fun, for all ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooblink Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) We love Set. At least, I do...I wouldn't let the kids stop playing it with me the other night. :) It took me a while to care to open the box, then a little longer to figure out how to play and "program" my brain, but once we got it down - it's great! Correct me if I'm wrong, but it goes something like this: A set comprises 3 cards all the same or all different in at least one of 4 attributes: color, shape, shade and number. Some examples: All the same color, all the same shade, all the same shape, different number (1, 2, & 3) = set All different shapes, all different color, all different shade and all different number = set All different color, all same shape, all same shade, all same number = set All same color, all different shape, all different shade, all same number = set Edited January 14, 2011 by Gooblink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Blink is somewhat similar, but faster moving. Qwirkle is like a combination of Set and Scrabble... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceyshoe Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We love Set too! Another favorite here is Rush Hour. Another plus is that both of the games are small, quiet, and will keep ds busy for LONG periods of time. I tend to keep one in the car to take in to restaurants, dr offices, and other places where ds may get restless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 My ds7 kicks tail at SET. He LOVES it! It's very fun!:iagree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 We also love SET! Even the 3.5 yo gives it a go (with help from Dad). Other games of mental merit (and that are fun) which we like: Chocolate Fix (independent) Blockus River Crossing (independent) Bananagrams Gobblet Frog Juice We just got Carcassone for Christmas, and 8 yo DD loves to play with the adults (strategy-type game, fun, non-violent).
