Editorial Review
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

 So Much Fun!!! January 3, 2009
Rhonda Bryant (Corinth, TX United States)
A friend of ours bought this game for us one year after playing with it at her house first. We absolutely LOVE this game and everyone who is introduced to it loves to play it!!! Even people that aren't that interested in board games. I guess because you are actually playing with cards. You will want to keep playing once started. You can play individually or on teams. If you want to get something simple but alot of fun for 2 players on up then this is the game for you.
challenging but fun January 1, 2009

My husband and I first played this game on New Years Eve with some friends. It is a little confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it it's fun. There is quite a bit of strategy involved in playing and winning. You and your partner try to get rows of 5 cards in a row, matching the cards in your hand to those on a board. Jacks are the wild cards and help in removing your opponents pieces from the board or to block their attempt to get a row of 5. Some games are quick while others are long and challenging, requiring rethinking your plan of attack. It's not a mindless fun game, but is similar to other strategy board games.
Fantastic December 22, 2008

Sequence Game
Sequence is a fantastic game for kids and adults alike. My 7 year old loves it. It is best if you have at least 3 people to play, but you can play with 2. Great Christmas gift!
Brilliant simplicity! December 8, 2008
No one of consequence (Maineville, Ohio)
It has been a few years since I was first introduced to Sequence, and it remains one of my favorite games. It is brilliant in the simplicity of its concept, which makes for amazing ease of play while providing a high level of fun, suspense and social interaction.
The game consists of a double deck of cards, a board with corresponding card spaces, and three different sets of colored chips. Each player receives a dealt hand, and must select a card to place a chip on the matching board space with the goal of forming a sequence of five chips across, down or diagonally. The player or team to make two sequences first wins the game, so each side must strategize to block the opponent's moves. Jacks are either wild or allow removal of an opponent's chip. Team members are not allowed to coach one another -- "table talk" is penalized by removal of a chip.
The optimal arrangement is for play by two teams of two players each. This game is suitable for kids, but it's also a great party game, particularly when accompanied by adult beverages. Each game lasts maybe 30 minutes, but endless rematches have frequently taken us well into the wee morning hours. Highly recommended!
Great game! December 6, 2008

Great game for the whole family. There is some strategy but not so much that an average 8 year old couldn't play. Playing with partners makes the game twice as exciting.
