Wow! Unexpected challenge for all ages!
I like mental challenges, so I actually waffled over getting this game because it looked too simple. Not so! Don't let the basic shapes fool you too. We played it with four people, but it can be played alone or with ten people, doesn't matter. With four players, each game took about 20-30 minutes. Anyone at any age can enjoy this game and find a set or two. Our foursome had two in their mid-20s and two in their mid-50s. This game is perfect for a family game night with middle-schoolers too. It's a great mental exercise disguised as a fun game that can teach efficiency, awareness, and perseverance. The game starts with twelve cards face-up on the table. The directions say this is fast-paced, so I was thinking something akin to the card games Spoons or Slap-Jack. In reality, the only things moving quickly are your eyes. You have to look at the cards to find sets of 3 that match three of the four characteristics, or none at all. So you study every card (it's not uncommon for the group to sit for three or four minutes silently staring at the table) and eventually find a set. It's not a race to that card, you simply have to shout "Set" before anyone else does. After that, you can take your time grabbing your cards--you already have first claim, so there's no rush. However, you get penalized when you're wrong (and you will be wrong, frequently), so be careful. Scoring are as follows: you count the number of sets you found. That's it. But remember, for each wrong guess, you lose a set (we put them into a discard/burn pile). In each game we played, the winner had four or five at the end. It's not a high-scoring game, so if the leader only has a few sets, everyone is in the game until the very end.

Out of the 12 cards, players race to find a set of 3 cards that follow a criteria, fun and engaging!
Pros - Easy to learn and teach. The rules are actually in the back of the box already, it is that simple. - Fast to setup and play (less than 30 minutes). Actually there is no setup needed, just shuffle and show 12 cards, no need to deal any to the players. The gameplay doesn't have turns, it's just a racing game where whoever would be the 1st to find a set among the 12 cards would gain the point, so it's gonna be fast. - Small table space is enough to play. A table that can fit 12 cards is enough. Can definitely be played on an airplane table! - A bit addictive. You would always want try try it again after a game. - The game is replayable. You would always want to do better. When you weren't able to find a set, you are really focused to get the next one. If you found a set, it feels very satisfying. An endless cycle that doesn't feel samey at all and can definitely be played multiple times, you can even play it multiple times in a row without getting tired of it. - The game is not multiplayer solitaire. Both of you are racing to see a set! - Highly interactive and engaging. Perfect for groups! Cons - While the game is extremely simple, this is not a game you would want to play with your partner after a long day at work as the race creates tension and you need to have a clear and sharp mind, which might feel exhausting especially when you are already tired. Just play Tangram cooperatively. - The box is trash. The insert can't fit sleeved cards. The box is not the usual open-the-lid box but rather those like the cereal boxes, making it hard to get the cards inside.

Great for all ages - easy for kids; good discussions with college students!
This card game has been a family and friends favorite for years. I have ordered several decks over the years to give away as gifts, and as prizes in school. My career was as a college math professor, and I used these to demonstrate math concepts in class and Math Club. I also used them to play a fun game with 5 year olds. Often the 5 year olds can beat the adults! It's a game with simple concepts of pattern recognition, understanding "like" and "different", and other traits like shape, number and color. I especially like that it is not necessary to stick around through a whole game to have fun - you can jump in on any round. This too is great for kids. I highly recommend for anyone.

Mind bending addictive fun!
I first bought these cards in 2008-2009 in America. My kids, my in-laws, my whole family loves it. Recently on a trek of 14 days I got all 12-14 people totally addicted to these cards. Once you start you cant put it down. You'll keep going back to them. Just t prove you too can make a set and fast. You'll get super competitive and practice on your own so in the group you too can look smart. Haha. Some get it easily and that's so irritating others take time to identify the set but this is the fun in the game. It's so simple to carry so simple to play but so much so many hours of mind boggling fun! I wish we had a Indian pricing. This was expensive as it came from abroad I think.
