The games Projective SET and EvenQuads are both inspired by the famous SET game, but in different directions. The SET game is a model for the affine finite geometry AG(n,3), and Projective SET is so-named because it is a model for the projective finite geometry, PG(n,3). On the other hand, EvenQuads is a model for the affine finite geometry AG(n,2). Despite their apparent differences, there is an interesting way to play Projective SET within EvenQuads, and hence a mathematical connection between properties of the two, which are of interest in algebraic coding theory.

In this talk, I will introduce the two games, show how to play one game within the other, and describe some of the mathematics involved in each. Time permitting, I will discuss some connections to coding theory.
