What is a SET?

A set consists of three cards satisfying all of these conditions:

• They all have the same number or have three different numbers.
• They all have the same symbol or have three different symbols.
• They all have the same shading or have three different shadings.
• They all have the same color or have three different colors.

The rules of Set are summarized by:

If you can sort a group of three cards into "two of ____ and one of ____", then it is not a set.

For example, these three cards form a set:

And so do these:

Given any two cards from the deck, there is one and only one other card that forms a set with them.

A player is given a point if their submitted set is correct and don't get a point if the submitted set is incorrect.

FAQ

1. How do I submit a set?

• Select 3 cards and click the SUBMIT button! You can only select 3 cards! When you select a card, there will be a green border around the card!

2. I don't think there's any more sets! What should I do?

• Click the NO MORE SETS button! However, once you click no more sets you cannot select cards anymore! It is equivalent to skipping your turn in a card game. You can only select cards again if either all other player unanimously select no more cards or if someone else made a set.
