Enhance your purchase

Start having fun while improving your grammar with this witty and informative card game for language lovers--based on the New York Times bestseller Dreyer's English.

Whats' wrong with this sentence?

If that misplaced apostrophe flew right up your nose, this is the game for you. Based on the New York Times bestseller by Random House's copy chief Benjamin Dreyer, STET! will help you sharpen those language skills or give you a reason to show them off (you know who you are). There are 100 entertaining sentences waiting for you, the copyeditor, to correct--or, alternatively, to STET. The first person to spot the error, or else call out "STET!" (a copyeditor's term that means "let it stand") if there is no error, gets the card. There are two ways to play: compete for points in a straightforward grammar game, or play with style and syntax and whip the author's sentences into splendid shape. The person with the most cards at the end of the game wins!

It's perfect for every level of writer, from high school students wanting to brush up before a test to co-workers looking for an engaging ice-breaker. With STET!, English has never been more stylish.

A real treat!

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

Sorry of the picture is sideways. I pre-ordered this a while back but then it slipped my mind, so it was a nice surprise when it appeared on my doorstep. It's challenging but fun -- and simple to play. Forget the instructions, the only real rules you need to know are the rules of the English language. (I've been humbled a couple of times already.) Once I post this I have a few more to buy for friends and family who I know will dig it. And if you haven't checked out the book that inspired the game, do so. You won't be sorry. Wish list: maybe they'll come out with a a digital version of the game you can play on your phone remotely with friends.

Hours of word-nerd fun

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

If you get into arguments about quotation marks, if your mental proofreading pen leaks red ink over everything you read, you gotta get this game. I have Dreyer’s English on the nearest bookshelf, and the humor and intelligence that make his style guide so much fun to read are on every card. It’s witty. It’s challenging. It’s the game you need when you’ve worn out the Scrabble board and need some new meat. So happy I bought this.

Good concept, fun game, not enough cards

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

For the price, there should be more cards. It's a good concept but I would have liked more cards to reduce the chance of repeating a card you've already heard the to

Geeky? Sure. Also, way fun.

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

I bought one game for friends and then ordered another for ourselves. Have only played it once so far but it met my expectations completely—a totally geeky game in which English majors rule, but others can also enjoy. We didn’t obsess over points but just enjoyed sharing our opinions and learning. It’s true that—for folks with sharp memories—there may not be enough cards. For those of us in our 50s and beyond, it’s probably not as much of a concern. We can barely remember what we had for breakfast this morning.

Get more good at the English.

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

This arrived today, much to my delight. I've been looking forward to this for months. I loved Dreyer's book, from which this game is derived. It's designed for the style & grammar nerd in you and two or more of your friends. There are 100 cards, and I can't imagine getting through all of them even in several sessions. I'm certain that, as I believe in differences between baptists and presbyterians, even all of us grammar wizards can find vexatious nuances to argue about. Having Dreyer's English nearby as a referee may be helpful but isn't required.

Excellent resource for teaching, as long as you do not overuse the deck with one class

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

I love the concept. But, as other customers have pointed out, there are not nearly enough cards. Because I am only using this in class, I am an ESL and English teacher, and the classes are only 8-14 weeks in length, I can stretch out the deck and combine it with lessons from his book. But if I were playing this with my family or friends, I would be very disappointed because once you play the entire deck, just 100 cards, there is nothing challenging. I think that the publisher should have a supplemental deck or decks available for free downloads as PDF or JPG files for customers who have proof of purchase of the original deck.

When you've forgotten how to think. This game is entertaining, thought-provoking and delightful.

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

Been waiting for this to be released for ever--all of the months of the Pandemic and Before. I liked playing alone and think or hope that it will not be a game of solitaire forever.
Would recommend.

Great game, but sadly it is the US version

Reviewed in Australia on January 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

I absolutely LOVED the book, especially as it had been amended to proper English from the US original. So I rushed to buy the game from the UK, expecting it to also be in proper English. It is really good, but very annoying that the spelling and grammar are often incorrect.
