As a mathematics educator, I'll definitely get this for my classroom, because I think that it encourages the same kind of thinking required for conceptual problems posed in high-school math classes. (And, theoretically, it can be used to cover some mathematical concepts, like probability.) It's definitely a stimulating game--and I love it. 5 stars (Beginning Player) - I played the computer game SET for the first time last night at a party my parents went to.
