Sequence Game
Sequence is a board and card game. The board shows all the cards (except for the Jacks) of two (2) standard 52-card decks, laid in a 10 x 10 pattern. The four corners are free spaces and count for all players equally.
The players compete to create rows, columns or diagonals of 5 connected checkers placed on the cards that the player has laid down. Two-eyed Jacks are wild, while one-eyed Jacks allow an opponent's checker to be removed. The game ends when someone has reached a specified number of connections.
Sequence is a great game for kids! But Sequence is also the exciting strategy game for everyone who loves a challenge. Includes game board, Sequence playing cards and 135 playing chips.
Game Play
Deal all the cards. Everyone need not have the same number of cards if the deck doesn't divide evenly.
The person to the dealer's left makes the first play. This person takes the lowest card he has in a particular suit and plays it in the center of the table. Play does not go around the circle after that. The player who has the next-highest card in that suit plays it on top. And then the next highest card is played by whoever has it. Play continues until the Ace (the highest card of the suit) is reached. The player who plays the Ace then plays the lowest card he has from a new suit and the process begins again.

With touches of canasta, rummy, and poker, this game could easily become a Friday-night favorite. The object is to get a "sequence," meaning a row of five poker-like chips on the game board. The board itself depicts lines of face-up playing cards. Players place their "crowning" chips on top of the card pictures, and can form sequences by using strategy and knowing which Sequence cards to keep or discard. Since forethought, luck, and backup plans are the keys to winning, this game is probably too sophisticated for children under 7 years old. (But young ones can team up with adults.) Included are 104 playing cards and 50 crowning chips in each color: red, blue, and green.
