No history log?

Great game but it needs to show my all my recent times. It only shows my all time fastest time. It doesn’t even show me how long ago it was I got that time. I can’t tell when the last time I was even close to beating my own best time. There’s no history. Nor does it show anyone else’s times.

And also, it has ads, even though it’s a paid game. Not a deal breaker but seems odd to me.

“Guarantee set” setting doesn’t work?

Sometimes there’s no set even when I select the “guarantee set” setting. There’s no “no set” button either, so maybe consider installing a “no no set button button”( ???) or just fix the program so it makes sure there’s always a set when I use this option. Overall the game is amaz.

Fabulous Game

This is a fabulous version of this game. I used to play it with my middle school students during recess. They have a beginners level and advanced level, so you can train newcomers to the game on the strategy for playing. You also have the option of getting a hint if you’re stuck. Very well done and easy to play. Once I started, I couldn’t stop.

Love playing, but could use ONE improvement.

This is very well done — a great and authentic version of the card game. But, I would love to see one improvement over the card game. Why not program it so the player is told (if s/he wants to be) when there are no sets? This would make the app even better than the card game.

You can play set but it’s missing a lot

Pros: a functioning digital version of the game set

Cons: This app feels like it was made and then abandoned, the UI is hideous, you can only play on a horizontal screen, no multiplayer functionality and there’s weird messages like ‘do better next time’ or ‘you need a hug’ at the end of rounds, just sort of bizarre and discouraging?

FAQ

What is SET Mania?

SET Mania is the official mobile application for the award-winning SET card game. It allows players to enjoy the game on their iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. The game challenges players to identify sets of three cards where each individual feature (color, shape, number, and shading) is either all the same or all different.

What are the different game modes available?

SET Mania offers three distinct game play options: Classic SET, where you find all sets in a deck as quickly as possible; SET Puzzle, which challenges you to find a specific number of sets within a limited card layout; and Sprint SET, where you aim to find the most sets within a set time limit.

Is there a cost to play SET Mania?

The app is free to download and play. It offers in-app purchases, which may include additional features or content for enhanced gameplay. Specific pricing details for in-app purchases can be found within the app itself.

How do I learn to play SET?

SET Mania includes an interactive tutorial designed to make learning the game easy. The tutorial explains the core concept of identifying a SET, where each of the four features (color, shape, number, shading) on three cards must be either all the same or all different.

What makes SET Mania challenging?

The game is challenging because it requires quick visual perception and pattern recognition. Mastering the game involves not only identifying sets but doing so rapidly. The app offers both Basic and Advanced decks, with the Advanced decks featuring more cards and complexity, increasing the difficulty and strategic depth.
