Excellent game for iPad

Eclipse10114

This card game works perfectly for the iPad and the app takes advantage of the touch screen for great multiplayer games. There is a wide variety of single player modes too, my favorite being arcade where you find a certain amount of sets in a given time to advance to higher levels and gain more time. I only wish there was a way to make the default deck stay advanced as it can be a pain to pick it every time. Also, there should be a way to turn off the Facebook features if you don't want to use them. But both of these are minor annoyances to an amazing iPad app, it's definitely worth the price.

Great game!

Great game with a simple concept, fun for playing on your own or with friends!

Play SET in style (even if colorblind!)

This is a solid implementation of the card game SET for the iPad. While the game itself is great and all of the cards look wonderful, I would like to see the UI for the main menu cleaned up to look a little more professional and be easier to use. This is minor however and should not dissuade you from purchasing the game. One very important feature that I would like to point out: if you are colorblind, you can now play SET! The publishers included easy to distinguish alternate card colors for colorblind players! I am not colorblind myself but several of my fellow board gamers are and this is a huge leap forward in game design. Hopefully more publishers will recognize this possibility when bringing older games to electronic devices.

Frustrating

I love this game as a card game. When playing with cards you can add a card when there are no sets. In this iPad game you can't add a card when there are no sets, instead you have to start the game over. It happens four out of five games.

Excellent neurotics!

This is my face new app! I have the card set but never pulled them out to play solo. This app makes it very difficult to stop but I am not overly concerned about my addiction just yet. I think it's a good workout for my encephalon.

Something is wrong with the deck

I like the game interface a lot, both for single- and multiplayer modes. However, there appears to be a problem with this "81" card deck: I played solitaire classic mode, found 26 sets, and the game ended with 9 cards still on the table. By my math, that means there are 26x3 + 9 = 87 cards in this 81-card deck. That means there are duplicates of some cards being dealt, which somewhat spoils the authenticity of the game. I have a feeling the programmers did this for some practical reasons, but nevertheless, the game is not quite true to the original.

Set is perfect for the iPad

Set is a natural fit for the iPad. The slick visuals and clean UI make for a much smoother gaming experience than with the traditional SET deck of cards. Since the cards are dealt out automatically after a set is identified, everyone has an equal opportunity to scan the cards for another set without having to worry about the advantages/disadvantages of manually dealing cards. And the “No Set” feature is great! The game forces you to find that difficult set – no dealing extra cards just because you can’t find it! The game is perfect for multiple players – 4 can play very easily. And the single-player modes are great when you need a quick-fix of the game when no one else is around. With all of the various gaming modes available, the game is well worth getting, especially when you consider it is cheaper than buying the traditional SET game.

Great game.

Im a big fan of the card game and this version doesn't disappoint. It would be nice if you could change the background color to something other than that brown.

So exceptional!!

I was introduced to the card game about 12 years ago, and my sister and I each kept a deck in our purses, just in case a party or bored moment cropped up. Now I have it on my fabulous iPad! A couple of things I would love to have: 1) ability to keep listening to iPod music. 2) stats that evaluate how long it takes you to find each type of SET (for instance, 1-2-3 solid squiggles of the same color is easier to see than an all-different set...) 3) different backgrounds... Even all-black... I'm tired of the smeared burl wood background. I have only EVER found ONE really super-rare bug (it happened when the final 15 cards in a Classic Full Deck game was no-set... An extreme rarity!) which I will email to you... And that bug just requires that the game be reset. :) Excellent programming. I was initially a little hesitant about the price ($7.99) but after buying it for myself, gifted it to my boyfriend, too!

Excellent Thinking Game!

I have been hoping that there would be an app. for this game and now there is! I highly recommend this game to people wether from this app. or to at least get this game in real life other than the app. Also good for teachers to get for their kids or anybody who works with kids and parents for their kids. Good for all people, kids and grown ups and will challenge anyone to not have a lazy brain. Also there doesn't seem to be any bad bugs or defects in the app. and seems to run pretty good. 5 stars for sure from me.
