Set Schnupperspiel

Description

--- <TLDR> Set Schnupperspiel is a 27-card promotional demo of SET, where players identify sets of three cards matching or differing in color, shape, and shading. </TLDR> Key mechanics include: - *Attribute matching* Cards feature three attributes—color (green, purple, red), shape (oval, diamond, squiggle), shading (solid only)—with 1-3 identical objects per card. - *Set formation* Players form sets of exactly three cards where each attribute is either all alike or all different across the cards. - *Simplified design* Limited to one shading type (solid), differing from the original SET game. Set Schnupperspiel, also known as Set Demo Deck, is a compact, 27-card promotional edition of the SET card game, distributed as a freebie at the AMIGO Spiel + Freizeit GmbH booth during Spiel '14 and included in the Stadt Land Spielt! Sonderdrucke 2018 package. Each card displays 1-3 objects sharing identical color, shape, and shading, drawn from three colors (green, purple, red), three shapes (oval, diamond, squiggle), and a single shading variant (solid), streamlining the original game's mechanics. The core objective involves spotting and claiming sets of precisely three cards that, for every attribute, are either completely matching or entirely differing, emphasizing rapid visual pattern recognition in a distilled format. ---
