How to Know if your Cards Make a Set: Part 6

Hello! My name is Melissa Schenk and on behalf of expertvillage.com, today we’ve been learning some basic tips for learning to play the game set. Now, set is a game, as I mentioned, of visual perception; it’s tricky. Sometimes your eyes will play tricks on you, which is the fun part of the game and it really does strengthen your right and left brain at the same time and gets you thinking creatively. We’ll give you one final kick at the cat, so to speak, and one last example as to figure out is it or is it not a set. I’ll give this one away. I’ve put one more together for you right down here, and it is not a set. I’ll tell you that right off the bat, but can you tell me why it is not a set. Well, the first one; let’s go through our 4 features and 4 categories once again. Of course, let’s start off with color. They are all different colors. You’ve got purple, red, green. They are all different symbols: the squiggle, the diamond, the oval. When we go to numbers, this is something they do share in common; they all have one to a card. Our problem with this one of course, is what. That’s right, the shading of it. Because remember that magic rule once again. If two are one is not, then it is not a set. Two of them are…well they’re shaded similarly; they’re striped and one is not. It has the solid shading on that there, so that is why that is not a set. What will qualify that as a set? Well, one of these would need to stay as striped and the other one would have to have just the outline on it. One of those needs to be just an outline and then that one will qualify it as a set.
