This bot facilitates multi-user games of SET, a real-time pattern recognition card game designed by geneticist Marsha Jean Falco in 1974.

## Rules of the Game

In the 81-card SET deck, each card has **four** attributes: shape, number of shapes, color, and shading. Each attribute has **three** possible values:

- **Shape:** Ovals, Squiggles, Diamonds
- **Number:** One, Two, Three
- **Color:** Red, Green, Purple
- **Shading:** Solid, Striped, Open

The goal of the game is to find *sets*, or groups of three cards where each attribute is **either the same for all three cards or different for all three cards.**

To learn more about the rules of the game, you can use the built-in **/howtoplay** command, which shows photographic examples of several sets, or you can read the online rulebook at this link:

## How to Play

To play a game of SET, use the **/newgame** command, and 12 random cards will be dealt onto the "board" for all users in a channel to see. Players can then select cards using the emojis 1️⃣ 2️⃣ and 3️⃣, and many players may use them simultaneously. If a player correctly selects three cards **in sequence** that form a *set*, the selected cards will be removed from play, and a new board will be generated with three new cards in place of the old ones. Play continues until there are no more sets on the board and no cards remaining in the deck, or until the user who started the game presses the cancel button (🛑).

Once a game ends, a leaderboard will be displayed with all the scores from that match. If you want more specific information about player statistics and games played, you can use the **/showstats** command. By default, it will display a list of games played in your server at the bottom, along with each game's *GameID*. To see stats of a specific game, you can enter this ID as an argument for the **/showstats** command. So, for example, to see stats on game #1337, just type:
*/showstats 1337*
