The one thing I've never personally enjoyed about Set is that it's a "how fast can you do it" game that promotes quick thinking over other skills. My wife loves it, though, and I do agree it's a great game to teach patterns and set matching.
- hood_syntax 9y agoI totally understand where you're coming from with it emphasizing quick thinking. Unfortunately, that's part of the game and it can't be taken away. Even so, I love that game, I credit it with helping to stoke my interest in patterns and logic at an early age (love you mom!). Not necessarily related but Tangrams is another (math related imo) activity, a tiling puzzle that exercises spatial thinking.
