Many years ago, when I was first starting a company with 2 other partners, we used to play a few games of Set every lunch. We did this for months, maybe even a year.
Needless to say, we got really good. After the initial learning curve of "getting" the rules, it becomes almost entirely a game of memory and recognition. You just remember sets, having seen them so often, that you can almost instantly spot them.
It loses a lot of its mathematical shine at this stage, of course, so I consider it less of a mathematical game.
