Great game/Confusing scoring method
I love this game and have been playing the card version since I was a kid, and I was excited to find an app version, but I can’t figure out the scoring. It deducts more points for laying out three new cards (which you have to do in order to keep the game going) than you earn for finding a set. Even if I have a perfect game in which I make no mistakes and use no hints, my score just keeps getting lower and lower because the scoring is so wacky. Most sets earn you two points, while laying out three more cards deducts three points. I have figured out that if you add cards when there was actually a set that you did not see, then six points are deducted rather than three, but even when no mistakes are made, it seems impossible to have the score increase as you lose points faster than you gain them, which is frustrating and feels like a mistake on the part of the creators of this app.

Can’t replace sets?
I get 2 points for a set but negative 4 points to replace the set with 3 fresh cards. How is it possible to get positive points when I’m force to spend twice as many points to replace the cards as what I get for finding the sets? At least let me reuse the cards from the found set before replacing them to rack up some points so I’m not going negative every set. This wasn’t thought out well.
