Set

16 January 2006 by kristarella

We have a cool card game called Set. You can play the game by yourself or with others. The standard rules are to simply find as many sets in a 4×3 layout of cards as you can. They are not just ordinary playing cards; they are cards that have either one, two or three of […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
