thanks for the video, I tried playing this for about 10 minutes, constantly saying "no you can't do that," and "yes you can," while referencing confusing rule after rule. This is why youtube exists. I get it now.
Pretty good game! The cards are small not as just a gimmick, but as you play, they take up a lot of table space as they spread out like tiles. Good design, but a bit hard to shuffle. Also, the printed rules could be clearer as regards both game play and scoring, but videos like this help.
The dice variant of Set is the one that you add to the board like this one (instead of picking out sets from a random set of cards). I think I like the attributes of the set cards better. It's hard for me to not see three when I look at the triangle shape (as Tom might have done when recording this).
But imagine that you have been planning some move, discarding many cards and skipping turns and then you finally play and someone says "no, you can't do that" :)))
Is the game you're thinking of 'Set', by Marsha Falco, Tom? This sounds like it works on a similar principle, i.e. a mix of common and/or distinct characteristics determining what makes a set, or in the case of Iota, a valid row.
Tom, I was looking for a review on this game, but I couldn't find it. In my country White Goblin released it as "Kwatro", might be handy to mention in the title of this clip?
I haven't heard of the games mentioned below... But it reminds me of uno/dominoes/scrabble making a baby and BAM, you get iota lol. Can anyone tell me if its fun to play?
Yes I'd say Set, too. It was a Mensa Game of the Year winner as far as I can remember. But there was another similar one, sthg with tiles (different colour & icons). I played an iOS version which originated on a real board game.
Smallest gamebox. Play and similar card design Qwirkle & SET. There are better similar game like "Swish" and "On the Dot". And I think "Spot It" and "Pick-a-Dog/Pig" are better than the latter games.
The game he can't think of is "Set". Of course it also feels a lot like Qwirkle, but he said Qwirkle in the video, so it's not that.

I do believe that the game you could not think of is SET. I would describe this as SET meets dominoes or SET Cubed
I think he’s thinking of Qwirkle.

I'm just being honest...I only picked this up at the store today cause of how small and -cute- cool the tin is.
Definitely Qwirkle. Just played it, and it's almost exactly the same.

I would say it was "Qwirkle" meets "Set"

I agree it's a slightly more difficult qwirkle
It's like a game called Set.
Very similar to SET
Qwirkle inverted to a card game.
Is the game it reminds you of SET?
Thanks for the review!

I think Ryan have reviewed something similar (shapes and colors) not so long ago.

I had to look this game up (how to play it), cause the instructions that came with it were so hard to get. but I like the games
This game reminds us of Chicken Foot (which is played with dominoes).
It's totally Set!
Should have waited 30 seconds and he mentions Qwirkle. lol
Dominos, maybe? Great video, you are so interesting to listen to and watch. Thanks!
Quarkle is pretty similar to this
Qwirkle is my guess as well.
