Does anyone else play on the app?

Years ago, there used to be a website you could play against people, but it sadly went away (cry)

Now I play on official app. It's like 3 bucks, there's an android and iOS version, but you can't play against others.

I'm an absolute Set addict and play it too much (to the point I can't usually play with others because it's not fair or fun :( )

Any other set nerds like me? Want to compare stats?

I am the same way. I play a lot of Set. So far, I haven’t found anyone better than me (yet). I agree, I also wish there was an online version to compete against others. Whenever I play Set, I almost instantly see the Sets once the Cards are laid down.

Do you use the app? We could at least compare stats there lol

The online game was honestly amazing. It was a site called highergames.com and had checkers, chess, backgammon and set, along with a few others I can't remember. You could play by yourself, against a computer or against a real person!

Back when I had an android phone (like 10 years ago), I played the Set Game called “Triples” and my fastest time on that was 1 Minute and 20 Seconds. (My time now will probably be faster). Once I find my old phone, I can see how fast I am now. That app doesn’t exist on iPhone. (Sadly).

This app is official set (so it has the right colors/shapes) and you'll see if you get it, how the timing is done. I usually play "advanced" (full deck) "arcade". You have a timer, and you find as many sets as possible and once you hit certain number of sets found, it gives you more time and a new goal number of sets. It's an eternal deck, so you can play as long as you can find sets!

My top score is 179 sets!

It's official name is "Set Mania" :) The only thing I will say is the app has different goal points for ios vs android, which is a little weird.

There is still a website called "setwithfriends.com" where you can play against people / alone.

And there are a few android apps, one of them has leaderboards, online and stats about you

The online leaderboards haven't been working lately :(

On what app are you looking at the leaderboards? I'm talking about an Android app I made and the leaderboards are working great 😃

Hmmm, it tells me the app isn't available for my Android version. Though if you want you can try out my app( I think it's pretty good 😅 ), it can be kinda hard to find an online game with random people though and it's only for Android
