Set Enterprises, Inc., was founded by Marsha and Robert Falco in 1990 and is now owned and operated by their daughter, Colette Falco. The company’s first game, SET, was developed by Marsha in 1974 while she was doing genetic research in Cambridge, England. Marsha was a population geneticist who was trying to understand whether epilepsy in German Shepherd dogs is inherited. To study the genes and chromosomes in the dogs’ cells, she created file cards with blocks of information for each dog. Because certain blocks of information were the same on each file card, she drew symbols to represent blocks of data, rather than writing out the data. She used symbols with different features (e.g., color, shading and number) to represent different gene combinations. While explaining the combinations on the cards to the veterinarians she was working with, she decided that there could be some fun in the cards and SET was born. Marsha spent years playing the game with family and friends before founding Set Enterprises and making SET available to the general public.".
