BELOW ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW TO PLAY THE GAME

* Easy level: FIND THE SUITABLE CARD ( multiple choice game, for beginner players) The dealer chooses a set . Lay 2 cards of the set face up and mix the last card with 5 random cards.  Lay all the 6 cards face up right below the first 2 cards and let the players find the correct card . This is a multiple choice game: choose 1 out of 6 options.

* Advanced level: FIND THE LAST CARD

The dealer draws 2 random cards in the deck and ask players in turn what features the last card must have to make a set . The players have to tell the 4 features of the card. The game played in this way does not have a winner or a loser, but this is a springboard for more complicated ways of playing.

* High-advanced level: FAST HANDS, QUICK EYES

The dealer shuffles the cards and lays 12 face up on the table with players around.The player who finds out the set as described above must call “SET” and pick up the 3 cards of the set within 10 seconds. If the set is incorrect, he/she loses one set which is found out before (if any).If the player calls “SET” but does not have one, he/ she loses one turn.

The winner is the first to have 3 sets (i.e. 9 cards).
