Peter Norvig and the Game of Set
Peter Norvig digs deeply into the game of Set, which I've never played, but enjoy reading about. In my group of gamers, there is one other besides myself who is this sort of gamer, and 4 who are not, so by majority rule, this is not our sort of game. :)

My oldest daughter Linnea would be a champion Set player, if there were championships. Around my house, she just clobbers everyone.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most interesting things about Set is that the best players often seem to be non-gamers. Some visually gifted people seem to be very good at spotting patterns.
