    There's no reason to pass up a free game, so I'll check it out.

    Thanks arn for the great review :)

    There is nothing unique about this puzzle! It is a blatant copy of the game called "Set". See a discussion on this topic on my blog :

    alright, we'll stop using the word unique to describe any game. ;)

    I wouldn't say it's a blatant copy--but it is a very similar concept. Check out http://www.pattrns.com -- the iphone version of this game is in the approval stage in the store and should be out soon. It is also similar to SET--but not the same game. It uses similar concepts, but is a timed/speed game not a "how many cards" game.

    not unique at all.

    a game was released in app store a while ago, 3-tupple (i think that was the name) - and it has the very same cards of the original card game (don't know the name though). talk about copyright violations.

    BUUUUUT still, awesome and fun game. this one is even better cause you play against other people. i love logic games, and this one is a must-have.

    Wow, this game is both addictive and frustrating as crap!

    Talking about 3-tuple, the Set clone for the iPhone: Does anyone of you know if there's still a possibility to get this game (since it was banned from the App Store)? (It was free on the App Store.)

    I love Set, and it would be great to play the, well... 'unofficial original' on the iPhone.

    Yay! A set clone.

    I must say that the new cards take a while to get used to.

    How are you supposed to play this game anyway? The video wasn't real clear.

    Just wanted to let you guys know that a free (lite) version of Crossbones is now available: CrossbonesLite. It's a single-player only version of Crossbones.
