  Set (game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Set is a card game designed by Marsha Falco and published by Set Enterprises, Inc. in 1991.
In one game, the dealer lays out cards on the table until either twelve are laid down or someone sees a set and calls "Set!" The player who called "Set" takes the cards in the set and the dealer continues to deal out cards until twelve are on the table.
One can only collect groups of 3 or 4 Sets which don't have to be disjoint, but they must together consist of at least 8 cards (it is possible that only 7 cards form 3 different sets, and this is not permitted to collect).
