More, Please – SET® Mania Review

I like the game Set a lot. I love being able to play it on my phone wherever. I’ve been spending my time analyzing the mathematics of it. I’ve been modeling it as a 3 or 4 dimensional torus, and a set is any straight line within it. I wish that the app explained what all the different games are. For Rediscovery, Marathon, and Arcade, it feels like I’m just playing regular Set as fast as I can, and then it stops at some point, because I can’t figure out what the rules are precisely. I got really into Set when I found it on the New York Times crossword puzzle page. It gives you four games of Puzzle, 2 basic and 2 advanced. With the basic pack, it picks one attribute to keep constant, but it changes from day to day for variety. In this app, the basic pack always has all the cards have a solid pattern. I really wish they could change that up randomly, because it doesn’t change the gameplay at all, but it does give you opportunity to see different sets. And variety is fun. I’d love it if there could be a shuffle button to rearrange all the cards. It’s a nice tool when I am stuck, and I use it all the time on the nytimes page.
