  6. HOW TO PLAY SETS The four categories are: • Color (Red, Green, or Purple) • Shape (Circle, Diamond, or Squiggle) • Number (One, Two, or Three) • Shading (Filled, Striped, or Empty) For 3 cards to form a set, they must be all different or all alike within each category. To test 3 cards for a set, look at each category individually.
