Set Game

Logic card game, where the goal is to find all the SETs and earn points

The deck consists of 81 unique cards that vary in four features across three possibilities for each kind of feature: number of shapes (one, two, or three), shape (rectangle, squiggle, oval), shading (solid, dotted, or open), and color (red, green, or purple).[1] Each possible combination of features (e.g. a card with three dotted green rectangles) appears as a card precisely once in the deck.

In the game, certain combinations of three cards are said to make up a SET. For each one of the four categories of features — color, number, shape, and shading — the three cards must display that feature as a) either all the same, or b) all different. Put another way: For each feature the three cards must avoid having two cards showing one version of the feature and the remaining card showing a different version.

For example, 3 solid red rectangles, 2 solid green squiggles, and 1 solid purple oval form a set, because the shadings of the three cards are all the same, while the numbers, the colors, and the shapes among the three cards are all different.

The goal is to find all the SETs in the deck and earn as many points as possible.
