SET Mini Round (2014)

About this game

Set Schnupperspiel or Set Demo Deck is a small, promotional copy of Set! containing 27 cards. In SET, each card contains 1-3 objects, with all of the objects on a card having the same color, shape and shading. Colours, shapes, and shadings come in three different types: green, purple and red; oval, diamond and squiggle. As opposed to the original game, there is only one type of shading; solid. The object of the game is to create sets of 3 cards that are either all alike or all different. The Set Schnupperspiel, or Set Demo Deck, was available at the AMIGO Spiel + Freizeit GmbH booth, at Spiel '14, as a freebie. The Set Schnupperspiel was also available in Stadt Land Spielt! Sonderdrucke 2018 as part of that games package.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 8. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
