Sequence the Board Game

I love this game! It's an absolute gem that's perfect for couples or groups of friends and family. What sets Sequence apart is its versatility. Whether it's just me and my partner enjoying a cosy night in or a lively gathering with friends and relatives, Sequence never fails to entertain. Its simple yet addictive gameplay makes it accessible to players of all ages and skill levels. Learning to play Sequence is a breeze, thanks to its straightforward rules and intuitive mechanics. Within minutes, even newcomers can jump right into the action and start strategizing to outwit their opponents. The best part? Sequence is quick to play, with each game lasting around 20-30 minutes. This makes it ideal for filling in those spare moments or enjoying multiple rounds in a single sitting. But what truly sets Sequence apart is the sheer enjoyment it brings. Whether you're plotting your next move with your partner or engaging in friendly banter with a group of friends, every moment spent playing Sequence is filled with laughter and excitement. Overall, I can't recommend Sequence highly enough. It's a must-have addition to any game night repertoire, guaranteed to provide hours of fun and entertainment. So grab a deck, gather your loved ones, and get ready for an unforgettable gaming experience!

Had been considering buying this for a long time and am pleased I decided to get it in the end! It arrived the next day with Prime, as promised. I've taken a few snaps of the rules in case it helps anyone decide whether they might enjoy it. It's a very simple game to learn and I particularly liked that there's no writing down scores on paper for anyone, which can be a bit of a chore with some games. I also like that the board has reminders about the purpose of one and two eyed Jacks, plus you get a couple of spare playing cards with an explanation of how to play the Jacks too. So far I've only played it as a two player game and it worked fine. Basically you get dealt a number of cards each. The number of cards dealt depends on how many are playing (but for 2 players it's 7 cards each). On the board each card is pictured twice except the Jacks which are excluded from the board (the pack you're drawing from consists of 2 packs of cards). The object is to place your chip on one of the two cards on the board which match a card in your hand, discard the card and take the next one off the top of the pack. Strategy comes in to play as the game progresses because you're also trying to get 5 of your chips in a straight line up, down, across, or diagonally on the board but you need the right cards to help you do this. When you get a line of 5 chips it's called a Sequence and you need to score two of them on the board to win the game. There are a few extra rules, such as the Jacks are used to either remove one of your opponent's chips from the board or they allow you to place one of your chips anywhere on the board (depending on whether the Jack has one or two eyes). My other half often beats me at other games, and whilst I don't mind losing it gets a bit one-sided and is nice to win sometimes. It's early days yet but so far I've found with this game I've managed to win some, because as well as strategy it also relies on an element of chance because if you don't have the right cards in your hand you can't lay your chips where you want to in order to make a line. I'm not sure the stated dimensions of the product in this description are correct but can confirm that the box measures 27cm tall x 20cm wide x 6.5cm deep. The board folds twice and measures 51.5cm x 38cm when open. Enjoyable game and recommended even by a non-card player!

Beware if you take this anywhere to play, everyone will be asking for one! We first found this game in Greece decades ago. Bought one as a present for family, then others requested it. So we had quite a trade going from Greece to the UK for it. Eventually all our folks had it so everyone plays. We mostly have girls v boys. Kids of all ages can play - the very young can help, the strategy part is beyond them though. Our various Greek relatives have suddenly become interested in playing it. We lent them ours with the promise of bying them a new set. Would you believe it? You cannot buy this in Greece any more! So we ordered the first of several in the other direction. We must have had ours for 20 years and it was, until lent to the kids this summer, in great condition. Will be interesting to see how long their new one lasts, slightly different colouring but otherwise the same. Anyone we have played it with has loved it, no two games are ever the same. And we never play just one game, ever. We have played well into the night on summer's eves. Simple to play, difficult to master (largely bacuse you can never remember where anything is, and spades are often difficult to distinguish from clubs, yep they are!). Very entertaining, and of course everyone loves chucking someone else off the board! I'd purchase again in a heartbeat.

Update: Now my 4th purchase of this game for family after telling them how good it is & sending to them direct. Everyone phoned to say what an absolutely brilliant game and all love it. Purchased as we wanted a new game for two players & this is a brilliant game for 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 people. We have played as 2 player and with our grown up children who are still at home and everyone loves it. At first it may appear to look confusing but within minutes you get the hang of it and we are all hooked. Whilst we have a whole cupboard of games as we are all avid game players this has been the first choice since purchased. We are buying another one for one of the kids who is moving out soon and wants to have this game. Highly recommend.

Disappointed that the quality is poor compared to the set we borrowed from friends to try it out. Theirs was a recent purchase - not an early edition.. You would think - having sold "over 10 million copies" that they would be able to spend some of their profits improving the quality. The one we borrowed was tactile and - although simple - worth the £20 we paid as it is an enjoyably addictive game. The new counters are cheaper plastic and the cards flimsier. We're still happy with our purchase as we like the game but the excitement is tarnished slightly by the quality...

Ordered this game for by dad for his birthday and it didn’t disappoint. It is very easy to quickly explain to everyone as there are only 4 rules. You simply deal out 6 cards to each player (varies with number of players) and then you have to select a card from your pack and place a tile on one of the two corresponding matching cards on the board. The aim is to achieve a sequence of 5 tiles in a row ( number of sequences you need varies with nom of players) . There are two different types of jacks which make the game more exciting as these mean you can place a tile anywhere or remove one of your opponents. It gets very competitive. You can also use the corner pieces as your tile so you only need 4 in a row. Will defs be playing this a lot over Christmas :)

Really pleased with this game

Purchased this game a few years ago and it's still enjoyed as much now as it was then. We get Sequence out at the beginning of December and literally play it daily until the end of the Christmas season. Not sure why we don't play it during the rest of the year! It's a really good game that is enjoyed by everyone. Quite strategic and very addictive. You won't be disappointed with your purchase.

Ottima qualità dei pezzi da gioco. Gioco molto divertente da fare in coppia o in squadre. L'ho conosciuto in America e l'ho voluto anche per me in Italia. Istruzioni in inglese ma facili da capire se lo si conosce a livello intermedio. Comunque penso che su internet si trovino anche in italiano. Basta stamparsele e via andare. Venditore affidabile!

Es un juego divertido, con un poco de estrategia y un poco de suerte. No es difícil aprender a jugarlo y no necesitas demasiado tiempo para terminar un juego. Es adecuado para niños y adultos y se puede jugar con 2 hasta 12 jugadores (mi favorito es con 3 pero con 2 está bien). Las piezas son de buena calidad.

👍

J'ai déjà usé 2 jeux à force d'y jouer avec mes amis. j'y joue depuis 1996. Le premier acheté dans un grande surface en Suisse. Convivialité assuré entre amis (même ceux qui n'aime pas en principe jouer à des jeux de société deviennent accro à la séquence LOL) Les règles sont très facile à comprendre et vite assimilés. Ce jeu réuni à la fois chance et stratégie, et stimule l'attention. Juste un petit point "OUPS dommage :( !!!" à ce jeu : manque un sachet de pions JAUNE (ou blanc) 4 sachets de pions de couleurs différentes serait vraiment pas un luxe. J'ai déjà rapporté 6 jeux Séquence en Suisse où j'habite pour des amis qui sont aussi accro que moi à ce super jeu. Mais pour ce 7iem qu'un ami voulait, le magasin de jouets où j'allais près de chez mes parents en France n'en avait plus alors je l'ai cherché sur Amazone.fr. Super surprise vous l'aviez en vert Cette version est très agréable à l'œil comme la version grise (sans l'intérieur jaune dans les cartes représentés sur le plateau qui diminue la taille des chiffres). La version rouge est juste... trop rouge (plateau rouge, cartes de cœur et carreau...encore du rouge, pions rouge BOF cette version rouge n'est pas génial car juste un peu trop ... rouge!!! Les version verte et grise font l'unanimité question esthétique mais le jeu en lui-même est juste PARFAIT. Isa.

Great game simple concept easy to learn
