SET Pro HD

SET® Pro HD, the official iPad app from the makers of the card game, is specially designed to exploit the iPad’s multi-touch, multi-player functionality to enable you to enjoy the Triple Matching Mania of the SET game. The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) says "So, what's better about Set Pro HD than either the earlier Set app or a deck of Set cards. Well, pretty much everything.....".

The SET game has won over 35 Best Game Awards. SET Pro HD enables you to find SETs at the speed of your brain. Using two hands you have the same speed advantage as you do in typing or playing the piano. The sense of a really fast player is, in fact, that of a piano player (see the YouTube demo - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eo_kY__glY – boy does this guy have good brain connections!). The SET game is also enjoyed when played with others. In multi-player game play there are no turns in the game. Up to four people can simultaneously play all using both hands. SET Pro HD removes all previous electronic limitations in all of its play modes, making this realization of the SET game a joy to play.

To find a SET you must recognize three cards on the gameboard of 12 cards in which each of the features, examined independently, are either the same on the 3 cards OR different on the 3 cards. That’s it. One rule. It is deceptively simple. Thus, it’s easy to learn. A 6 year old can do it. But it’s a challenge for life, and mastering it challenges college students and their professors. The game has two levels Basic and Advanced. All players, regardless of age need to learn using the Basic level. Once you get the idea down, move to the Advanced level where you will experience the depth and richness of the mental challenge of SET. The Advanced level is the complete SET game. Of course, since SET is a game for all ages, younger players may take longer to be able to play the full game. Basic level has 3 features that anyone can master. Advanced level has four features, which is a challenge for all.

When you want a challenge for just yourself, SET Pro HD includes 6 solitaire game modes, Classical SET, Rediscovery SET, Sprint SET, Marathon SET, Puzzle SET, and Arcade SET. In Classical SET play, SET Pro HD challenges you to get through the deck in the shortest time finding SETs. In Rediscovery SET you try to get 25 SETs in the shortest time, with the cards either being rearranged, or, with 3 cards randomly replaced every 10 seconds if you don’t find a SET. In Sprint SET you are challenged to get the most SETs in 60 or 90 seconds. You never run out of cards. In Marathon SET you must pace yourself to get the best scores. Puzzle SET challenges you to find 4 or 6 SETs in a fixed gameboard of cards. Arcade SET paces you as you play requiring you to find SETs faster and faster until you cry ‘uncle’. In all game modes you can play either Basic or Advanced Level.

In multiplayer mode, players tap their scorecards to take control of the board, and then tap-in their SET, or, after tapping they can swipe their scorecard (or tap the NO-SET icon) to gain additional points if they perceive that a NO-SET situation exists. A point is lost if 3 cards are selected that don’t make a SET, or if a player doesn’t tap the cards within the time limit.

For beginners, there is an interactive Tutorial, and Hints are provided in all the game modes. Players can choose to play in teams. Your scores can be kept in the STATS if you choose, and in STATS ALL your best scores and those of all your friends are ranked if players want to see their rankings.

Set is great to play on the iPad
Mr. Naturally

I love Set. I’ve played the card game for years, so had to get it for my iPad. Well Set on the iPad is fantastic. I really feel a whole new excitement after so many years with my familiar favorite. Its hard to explain, but my hands fly over the iPad touching the cards and as Sets fly off and new cards are replaced my hands just keep flying and flying. It’s a new experience – when I played with the Set cards I would have to deal the replacements, which made a natural pause that paced the game. That’s gone on the iPad, which makes playing Set even more addictive. I love the Solitaires (I’m by myself a lot). The stats allow me to challenge myself. I can play any version over and over again with one click and try to beat my last score. I’m still trying to figure out the best way to hold the iPad to play fastest. This version is also multiplayer, and I can’t wait to get together with friends and play. Good job Set.


Totally Awesome!!!

I've played the card version for many years but this iPad version is Smoking Hot!!! They packed so much into this App that I'll be playing it for a long long time. I particularly like playing Sprint SET with using just 3 features. After hours of play, I've managed to find Sets at a rate of 2 every 3 seconds. At that rate you feel like your flying through the cards. It's quite amazing seeing new cards come in as the found sets go out. Visually Stimulating to say the least. The best iPad game I've seen so far.


Great for playing my heart out and teaching my 5 year old
MomPuzzler

Finally I can play SET as fast as I can think. No waiting for dealing cards and can get points for a NO SET which I’m pretty good at with the card game. When multiplayer is clicked, Jane and I can compete on equal footing since neither of us has to deal. We also both love the Arcade Solitaire game that’s one of the game options, and we’re very completive (stats ALL rankings hold our highest scores). Also used the tutorial on the basic deck to teach my five year old. Wonderful!


Great!
SomeMacDude

Really enjoy playing Set on the iPad. I am new to the game and I am loving it! Running out to get a deck of Set cards the weekend. I had no idea that it was a card game too.


Great game
Happy critic

This game was no doubt, worth the money I spent on it. I had fun while stimulating my mind with this challenging game. I never get bored with all of the modes with in this game. It is too bad that the high scores aren't displayed, I would like to know how good I am compared to others. I loved "playing against the clock" and the multi payer option was very fun. It feels as if you are playing the game with real cards because of the HD affect. I look forward to future updates. :-)


Set is fantastic!!!!
swisspop

For so long our family and my friends have been playing the SET card game and we all enjoyed it so much. But how exciting, we just discovered that SET can now be played on the new iPad – what a HIT!!! WE LOVE IT. Our game evenings are becoming a total SET war. The many different challenges on this new device are incredibly exciting and fascinating at the same time. Got SET? – Just get it.


Great new way to play an old favorite!
pajaritogirl

I've always loved playing Set and this app provides lots of new addictive versions of the game. I especially enjoy the Sprint version and could play it for hours!


Feel like I never want to play a different game.
Bag of Wind

I'm hooked. All the stuff the other reviers said, I agree wholeheartedly. Why the 4 stars? Do you care? lol. Well I'm gonna tell ya anyway. I like to play the classic mode with advanced cards. I don't care about the clock ticking, I just want to find all the sets. As good as I am, that takes a long time. For 7.99 I'd like to be able to save my classic game that deals 81 cards before it ends, EVEN, if I have to exit the app. So if the devloper would please enterprise a game save, not just a pause, I will be eternally grateful, re-review and add a star. Thank you.


A solid version of a great thinking game
TheJmeisterGeneral

Set is a party game for those who prefer fast action and pure skill. Playing with others is the most fun, but you have to practice up so you can dominate next time! SET Pro HD lets you play with up to three other players, or hone your skills solo, playing against the clock. Facebook integration allows for easy bragging when you pull off some amazing set finding and nobody was there to see it. Touch screen is perfect here, since you play just like with real cards. In SET everyone sees all the cards all the time, so there's no awkward turn taking or looking away as in other multi-player card games on iPad. SET Pro HD is also a great way to teach your family and friends how to play SET. It includes the basic and advanced decks.


Great game
ija

I enjoy this game. It is challenging and fun but way too expensive for what it is. This a very simple find and match game with s hefty price tag on it... Other than that, everything is peachy.
