ABSTRACT
SET Game (simply SET) is a game designed by a genetic engineer Marsha Falco in 1974 while she was doing genetic research. SET consists of 81 cards with four types of symbols. Each type has three properties. More precisely, each card contains numbers (1, 2, 3), shapes (diamond, squiggle, oval), shading (solid, striped, open), and color (red, green, purple). Therefore, there are https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81 https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003268024/2a3a6f03-5de8-4860-ba0c-ddf4e8b4910a/content/C015_equ_0001.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> cards. The rule of SET is simple. A dealer mixes the 81 cards and displays 12 cards on the table. The goal of the game is to select a set of three cards such that properties are either all same or all different. Such a set of three cards are called a ‘Set’. The player who makes a set will take three cards. Then the dealer adds three cards to the remaining nine cards. Play the game until there is no more Set. The player who has the largest number of cards becomes the winner.
