Sequence Game
"Sequence" is a challenging game that is fun for both the adults and the kids. It is one that will really make you think and holds your interest for several rounds of play. This is a fairly new game to us, we've had it since Christmas, and it turned out to be one of the best and most thoughtful presents we recieved as a family, as it gives us a great couple of hours of time together.
The object of the game is to get 5 chips in a row on a game board that has 2 sets of playing cards printed on it.
Each player is dealt a given number of playing cards (the amount will depend on how many players there are). Using the cards in your hand, determines where on the board you may put your chips.
Be careful though..there are wild cards lurking out there...just when you get your strategy all set and are ready to be the winner..someone may remove one of your chips or even worse...use a wild card to win their own sequence!
I like that it really makes you think. Like...
Great fun for the whole family!
Sequence is one of those rare games that can be played by many people of widely different ages at the same time. A little skill and a lot of luck make this an easy game to learn, but sometimes very tough to win. It's more of a card game than a board game, so I can see why one reviewer said it requires "no skill," but I don't think that's a reason to "dis" the game: after all, most card games rely more on luck than anything else, don't they? However, I don't really think you can call this game "educational" except in the sense that it does help the younger kids learn about the suits and types of playing cards. And so what if it's not educational? It's Fun!
The game description does not tell you that although 2 to 12 people can play, it must be in multiples of 2 or 3. There are only 3 sets of color chips to play with, and you have to have evenly divided "teams" when you play with more than 3 people. This means that 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 or 12 people can play, but not 5, 7 or 11. (I'm...
This is a great game for adults and kids.
This is a great game for adults and kids- it combines strategy, skill and a little luck so that it is always exciting. My 6 year old is too young to play except on a team but my 10 year old loves it as do my wife and I. One has to think when the board gets crowded with chips and the room gets very quiet when someone is one chip away from a sequence. The game can be played in anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes.

For 2 or more players, ages 7 and up. Country of Origin: USA or Hong Kong or China.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. --Gail Hudson
