A set is an item made of pieces kept together: a deck of playing cards, a tarot deck, a chess set, a bag of tiles. The pieces don't clutter your inventory while they're in the set.
Open the set to see its pieces.

- Take out one piece, or Take all out. Taken out, a piece is an ordinary item in your inventory, placed where the set is.
- Put back returns taken-out pieces. A single piece's details also have Put back in the ….
Sets don't stack (each has its own pieces). Selling or trading a set takes its pieces with it.
Draw a card (or Take one at random for other sets) opens the draw window. These are the set's actions: when editing it, reword them ("Fish one out"), change what they do, or add more (see Containers); they're in its item menu too.

- The first piece fills the window. Each draw after that shrinks them to share the space (side by side, 2 × 2, 3 × 3…), and once they'd be too small the window scrolls instead.
- Draw another draws one more. The button shows how many are left.
- Keep (or closing the window) leaves the drawn pieces in your inventory.
- Put back returns them all to the set; the small button on each piece returns just that one.
Tick Set in an item's features (see Item Features):
- One piece is called: card, piece, tile… (it's used in the buttons, e.g. Draw a card).
-
Pieces: a name each, and optionally a picture, like a real card face. Pieces with pictures show them in the set and in the draw window, which takes the shape of the pictures.
- Add from pictures… makes a piece from each picture you pick, named after its file, so a whole deck's faces can go in at once.
- Paste a list… adds a piece for each line of names.
