==
* In one episode of ''[[White Collar]]'', a thief was collecting a set of jade elephants that became much more valuable when all of them were sold together. Neal tried to lure her in by offering to team up so they could sell the full set and split the profits.▼
* [[Kamen Rider OOO]]'s medals come in sets of three, and using a set of medals of the same type gives him increased powers at the cost of leaving him exhausted when he powers down.▼
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==▼
* In ''[[Monopoly]]'', the player is only allowed to build houses and hotels on properties where they own the entire color block.
* ''[[Risk]]'' provides additional troop bonuses when you occupy an entire continent.
** As well as when you trade in three cards with matching symbols.* The most ubiquitous of this trope in ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' is the "Urzatron": Urza's Mine, Urza's Tower, and Urza's Power Plant. They give one mana each normally, but if you control all three, you get seven mana from them.
▲== Tabletop Games ==
** Speaking of ''Magic'', ''Visions'' had Feral Shadow, Breathstealer, and Urborg Panther. Sacrifice all three of them to bring Spirit of the Night into play directly from your deck.
** Having Helm, Shield, and Sword of Kaldra all in play (each a strong card in their own right) and you can put a 4/4 legendary token creature (aptly named Kaldra) into play and attach all three of them to it for a much lower cost than attaching individually.
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Tabletop Game)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', the five Exodia cards are worthless on their own. Get all five in your hand, and you automatically win the game.
** There are also dozens of archetypes that entire decks can be built around (Six Samurai, Laval, Ice Barrier, Evol, Archfiends...)

▲== Literature ==
▲* The eponymous artifacts in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'' were believed to make the owner of all three Master of Death, [[Immortality Inducer|granting immortality]]. {{spoiler|The true Master of Death is one who knows Death is inevitable despite the existence of magic and accepts it when it comes.}}
▲* In one episode of ''[[White Collar]]'', a thief was collecting a set of jade elephants that became much more valuable when all of them were sold together. Neal tried to lure her in by offering to team up so they could sell the full set and split the profits.

Line 54 ⟶ 45:
* Having three matching viviosaurs of a set on your team in ''[[Fossil Fighters]]'' is necessary for using their team attacks. What makes a set varies, but it can be things like similar styles, diets, or elements.
* In ''[[Animal Crossing]]'', you get bonus points for your HRA score by collecting pieces of furniture sets, themes, and series.
* ''[[City of Heroes]]'' has Invention enhancement sets -- for every (unique) member of the set you have in a power after the first, you get additional bonuses to things like your accuracy, your defense, the cost of using your powers...
* ''[[Tactics Ogre]]'' Also used the set equipment variant, usually giving the character a lesser weight penalty.
* In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver]], depending on their version, the player gets an item that lets them capture either Kyogre or Groudon. Regardless of which one they caught, however, Oak's reaction is to state that he thinks of the pair as a set, and wonders if you can capture the other one. However, [[One Game for the Price of Two|you can only capture one of the pair in each version]]—and [[Guide Dang It|the next event won't be triggered by any]] ''[[Guide Dang It|normal]]'' [[Guide Dang It|Groudon/Kyogre]]—you ''specifically'' need one who was lured in and caught by the exclusive HG/SS item.
