That set game

I found a version to print out, but the flimsy bits of paper aren’t too good to play with.

There is a supplier in this country, but I think it’s actually going to work out cheaper to buy it from the states, from the maker . It certainly will do if there’s more than one person wants it - so if anyone wants to get together and get a copy… ;)

    Sounds like a plan!

    I still can’t do it online- i can get 4 of todays one but not the last two for anything.

    Look at that, went back and got the last 2. Only took me 58 minutes

    What is it Jax. I’m a bit confused (not hard!). Is it a card game?

    58 minutes!!!!!! That must be a new record. Do you have a random or systematic approach Merry?

    No - it was the go away and come back later approach! I didn’t realise it was timed!

    I took 68 minutes to do it once - I think that was the have-to-go-away-to-deal-with-screaming-child approach ;)

    Yes Karen, it’s a card game. Deals with mathematical and pattern skills, I would guess, though I just like puzzles :)

    Just tryed it for the first time- can’t for the life of me get more than 5 despite doggedly using a system. This is the kind of game our family loves and I NEED it…but I’m not sure how shared shipping would work out as cost effective when we add on the extra to post it to me as I live in zummerset. What fun though!!

    I think it will work out cheaper even with posting out to us all - the cost of buying it in this country is £9 + 3.95 postage, whereas the game is $12 plus a decreasing scale of postage - have a look on the site at the buy online, then follow the link for the order info.

    My calculations are that if we were to buy 5 copies of the game, each copy (*including* postage from the states!) would come out at less than £8, so even then adding on postage to you in somerset, Heather, it would be less than £13 ;)

    What about printing and laminating? Do you have have a laminator Jax? If not, print off 2 copies and bring them over if you’re coming over on Friday and I’ll laminate them for you.

    I just had a go and can’t get more than 5 either, I can see it could get addictive

    I haven’t even managed to make time to look at the link yet, but I’m up for a co-op, sounds like the sort of thing it would be nice to have around - and if we get it in time for Melrose there would even be a bit of a saving on postage.

    Now THAT is a plan!

    what about printing it onto card? Am I just stating the obvious here, without knowing what I’ talking about?- sounds like a good game, must try. I think I’ll print on card- I just stik any old a4 card in the printer- it usully works, sometimes you have to feed in a few at a time. It doesnt have to be A4 as it can usually handle loads of different sizes. In fact, Im sure I’ve seen blank playing cards somewhere, but theyre prob too small for printer?

    Okay- I just got all 6 sets on todays in 4 mins 38 secs. That’s crap. I need that game so I can swot up!!

    Jax,
    if you do a co-op order, I’m definitely up for a pack - possibly 2. Will you post on the main muddle puddle list as well, or are you trying to keep quiet about it?
    Let us know when you’re ready to do the order and i’ll make up my mind about how many I want!

    Jax, where did you find the version to print out? We’re all getting hooked, but I’d like to try it without the computer making my eyes go funny. And then you can play with more than one player, presumably.
