The game is called Getty ArtSets. Until I joined Club Why, I didn't really know what a game like this was. For this article, I've composed a mini game-preview for those of you, like me, who hadn't played it before.

Getty ArtSets has a little bit of a different concept than other games in Whyville. In this game, you try to find a "matching" set before your opponent. In my mini-game, you just try to find as many sets as you can. If you have seen the tutorial for the Getty ArtSets game, you'll know that a set is a special group of three cards.

Here is an excerpt from the tutorial on Whyville:

You might have noticed that you can group the cards by Subject and Medium.

Subject refers to what's on the card. In this game you'll see a Person, Place, or Thing.

Medium refers to how the artwork on the card was created. It could be a Painting, Drawing, or Photograph.

Paintings usually have color and are made with paint, usually oil or acrylic paint.

Drawings are usually black-and-white or brown because they are usually made with pencils, ink pens, or charcoal.

Photographs are taken with a camera, and they usually look the most realistic.

Now, as I began to say before, a set is three cards that have some sort of pattern. As the game's instructions explain, a set could have:

* The same subject and medium (example: painting of a person, painting of a person, painting of a person)
* Different subjects and mediums (example: painting of a person, drawing of a place, photograph of a thing)
* The same subject but different mediums (example: painting of a thing, drawing of a thing, photograph of a thing)
* The same medium but different subjects. (example: painting of a person, painting of a thing, painting of a place)

Now that you have a better idea of what a set is, try to find all the sets in the photo I took below. As you do, answer these questions:

1. How many sets are there?
2. Which image (or images) have been included in the most amount of sets?
3. Which two images share the same subject and medium?

Here are the answers to the puzzle above (sets are color coded):

And the answers to my three questions:

1. Five sets.
2. The painting of a person (in the top left-hand corner) and the photograph of a person (in the middle of the top row).
3. The drawing of a person (in the bottom right-hand corner) and the drawing of a person (in the left side of the middle row)

Thanks for playing find the sets! If you aren't a member of Club Why yet, join now so you can play the beta version of any new games that may be coming whenever they come!
