Customer Reviews of SET: The Computer Game
A good game, but really outdated version :-( My son and I love to play the daily puzzle of the game of SET at the website setgame.com. Naturally we were excited to see that this version listed "Includes online play" as a feature, because we have multiple PC's at home on our home network. <

>The CD version I received gives the error message "Sorry, your IP address is invalid for this Demo Version" when we try multi-player mode. Then I realized communications options lists only 3 modem speeds - 1200, 2400 and 9600 baud. <
> <
>Cmon folks - This is the year 2005: era of home networks, broadband and multiple cell phones. None of my home PC's even have modems. At this day and age, cannot expect 2 analog phone lines at home to dial each other for "Online play" via slooooow Modems! From the "Help-About" it appears the game may have been last updated in 1994. The vendor really needs to update the software to be compatible with current computer networks. <

>Other than the above gripes, the game itself was functional and looked good. However, I am returning the game as I bought it with online play as a major reason. <

I like to think it encourages mathematical thinking . . .
I've been playing the card game for years--it's wonderful. I'm so happy they've made a computer version so that I don't have to find someone to play against me! As a mathematics educator, I'll definitely get this for my classroom, because I think that it encourages the same kind of thinking required for conceptual problems posed in high-school math classes. (And, theoretically, it can be used to cover some mathematical concepts, like probability.) It's definitely a stimulating game--and I love it.
Beginning Player
I played the computer game SET for the first time last night at a party my parents went to. It was fun but challenging because the computer was finding more sets than I was in the beginning. Other people got interested in the game and everyone started looking for the sets. Then I began to see the sets faster and could beat the computer. I liked it because it lets me play one on one against the computer while I'm learning the game and I know I can get good enough to beat the computer and even those other people who were looking over my shoulder.
