Hello! My name is Melissa Schenk and on behalf of expertvillage.com, today we’re discussing basic tips for learning to play the game set. Alright, so that you really understand all the different cards and types and features of that, let’s go to another example and pick out what is a set and what isn’t a set. In our top row here, we have a set. The bottom row, we don’t have a set. Can you tell why they are and are not a set? Let’s again go to our featured categories. The first one, we’ll talk about color. They’re all the same color. Then in the next category, they’re all the same symbol, and they all do have the same number, one number, one squiggle per card. Finally, in the shading category, this is where they’re all different. You’ve got one outlines, one that’s completely filled in, and one that is striped. We go to our next category here, and do you see a problem with this one? This is not a set. Can you tell me why they are not a set? You’re asking yourselves the questions. Well first of all, you’re looking at the color. They are not all the same color. You’ve got 2 purple and one green. Therefore, it is not going to be a set. When you’re looking at the symbol, right here of course, they are all different and of course, they’re all the same shape and they have all different shading. The problem with this set right in here is of course the color. To make this one a set it would have needed to be purple.
