This genuinely may be the best game to come out for a generation! Each of the 81 cards has four features - it will display one of three different shapes, one of three different quantities of that shape, one of three different colours and one of three different types of shading. Look, for example, at the 12 cards shown above. Players must compete to find a 'set' consisting of three cards where, for each of the four individual features, all three cards are exactly the same, or all are different. Each shape and quantity of shape appears only once, as does each colour, and shading type. Therefore, these cards are a 'set'. If two of the cards had, for example, been red and one green, then this would have stopped the card from being a set. A powerful and hugely entertaining game, which, we warn you, is also highly addictive!

The twist is that the item you are trying to find might not even be there! Each of the 32 shaped cards in play contains ten images, words or letters.

What starts as a simple looking challenge will soon leave you tied up in thinking knots and a mistake could cost you the game!
