Quite naturally, this creates [[Collections]] goals of several [[Gain Ownership]] goals, and as players near completion of these [[sets]] can give rise to [[Anticipation]].
 As mentioned above, using [[Sets]] of several different [[Game Items]] together to gain additional bonuses are examples of [[Combos]]. These types of [[Sets]] are also typically [[Optional Goals]].

 [[Mahjong]] is played until a winning hand is achieved by a player, and this hand consists of a combination of the various categories of [[Sets]] possible (''Pongs'', ''Kongs'', ''Chows'' and ''Eyes''). The score received for the winning hand depends on the combination of [[Sets]] and since one receives extra points for certain combinations this can be viewed as a type of [[Sets]] also. The much simpler [[:Category:Card Games|Card Game]] [[Go Fish]] uses [[Sets]] similarly to end game instances.
