Set Review: be quick and identify the sets!

A real-time game that will test your logical thinking and visual perception by detecting patterns. The goal is to form a set of 3 cards where either all of them or none of them match in any of the 4 categories: color, shape, number and shading.

Set and Genetics

The story of how Set was created is a curious one, to say the least. It was developed by population geneticist Marsha Jean Falco in 1974. At the time, Marsha was studying epilepsy genetic patterns in German Shepherd dogs and, to do so, she began to represent the dogs' genetic data by drawing symbols on cards and then looking for patterns in the data.

Set is an excellent option if you want to stimulate children's attention, logical thinking and visual perception.

It's a non-stop dynamic, since you need to be focused at all times throughout the game, checking if there is a pattern of color, quantity, shading and shape. It is an excellent exercise, because repetition leads to perfection.

Visual perception, together with focus and attention, will be uninterruptedly present, since it is based on these stimuli that the patterns are confirmed.

Set is not a game that potentially stimulates something in children, it stimulates nonstop and incentivizes real time thinking.

Take advantage of the game to teach your child about different shapes, colors, quantities and shadings. Remeber that the minimum age is 6 years - don't be shy to play it a lot!

Pedagogically, Set brings important stimuli and is fun!

I recommend Set for your collection!
