Zen Set
Zen Set
This is our take on the popular card game "Set", which is a puzzle game about making unique combinations of cards. This interpretation is meant to be a relaxing experience, aimed at helping the user hone their skills.

How to Play
There are 81 unique cards in the deck. Each card has four features, which vary across the following characteristics:
- Symbol: Diamond, Pill, or Squiggle
- Number of Symbols: 1, 2, or 3
- Symbol Color: Green, Red, or Purple
- Symbol Shading: Filled, Empty, or Striped
A set is made by selecting 3 cards, and that set is valid if each feature for each card is all the same, or all different.
Controls
- X/ Mouse 1: Confirm
- Arrow Keys/ Mouse: Move Cursor
- Enter/P: Pause Menu
About this project
A few months back, a friend of ours pulled out Set at a dinner party. It was only our second time seeing the game, and as such it would take us a very long time to complete even one set. Meanwhile, our buddies were calling out sets every few seconds. There are a few good online versions of set one can use to practice, but we figured it would be fun to make our own. After investing a lot of time into polishing it, we decided to release it for others to play. We hope you enjoy.
