The card-game "Set"

Preface

Set is a nice card game for 2 to 8 players.

Because the game consists of very simple cards, it's self-evident to create the cards yourself instead of buying it. In the next section you can download the cards in PDF format. Note this cards are not the original cards (symbols and colors differ sometimes). But the principle is the same.

Download the cards as pdf, ps, or LaTeX

Cards per page Page count Card size in cm × cm pdf format ps format description
2 × 2 21 10.5 × 14.9 pdf ps a bit unhandy
3 × 3 9 7.0 × 9.9 pdf ps normal card format
4 × 4 6 5.3 × 7.4 pdf ps
5 × 5 4 4.2 × 5.9 pdf ps
