Toys and Games Reviews of Sequence Game
Customer Review: Fun for everyone!
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased this game a couple of years ago and liked it so much we bought it for my sister and her family. This is a great game for many reasons. Firstly it can be played and enjoyed by people from ages 6 and up. The younger ones might not quite get some of the more strategic elements, but they can certainly join in and in my experience seem to have a good time playing. The second thing is the ease of setup. Even the first time when you're just learning how to play the game it only takes a few minutes to learn and get going. After that setup is just a couple of minutes and you're playing! Finally the nice thing is that you can play for as little or as long as you like. Usually just one game is fairly quick, often in the 5-20 minutes range, but then you can continue to play as many rounds as you like, with each one being different. You can either fill a quick 15 minutes, or kill an entire afternoon! Overall a great buy and recommended for anyone who likes to play games.Customer Review: Warning: You will get addicted to this game!

I bought Sequence for my 14 year old daughter for Christmas. We love to play games that involve strategy, and are easy to learn. This game is very easy to learn. Sometimes it is pure luck because someone is dealt a good hand. Other times and those are the best times, strategy is the key to winning. The object of the game is to get 5 of your markers on the board in sequence first. The Jacks are wild. There are 2 types of Jacks, one eyed Jacks and two eyed Jacks. One of the Jacks allows you to replace an opponents piece with one of yours and the other Jack allows you occupy a vacant space on the board. Don't worry about remembering which is which the game board notes that on the side for you. When the game is good you have to decide if you are going to use your Jack(s) to help build your sequence or to stop your opponent's sequence. All I can say is that this is one family who is addicted to this game!Customer Review: Great for diverse groups
Summary: 5 Stars
We recently played Sequence with a very diverse group of 6 -- ages 30-85 and IQs 80-155.
The rules are easy. Even my 85 year old MIL could understand them, and she has trouble picking up new things now.
Easy rules do not keep this from being a challenging game. Strategy and logic important, but so is luck. The no-talking (about the game) rule helped level the playing field -- as did fair division of teams. A "bad" move doesn't kill the game, and it may turn out to be a good move in the end. The game is fast enough that folks can't obsess about mistakes.
This is a game where you could get intense, count cards, deduce chip placement probabilities, etc., or you could just play for the fun of it.
Everyone had fun and plenty of time to rib each other incessantly. We are already looking forward to a rematch.
Simply a great game.
Customer Review: My Rainy-Day Choice!
Summary: 4 Stars
I got sequence a few years ago after a recommendation from a friend. I love word and party games, but needed something I could enjoy playing with one other person rather than a whole room-full. Since I bought it, I break out the Sequence game regularly. It can be as easy or as challenging as you and your opponent make it; Little kids can draw a card and match it on the board and put a chip on it, and adults can plot and plan indefinitely on the best strategy to beat the other player! I have only played with 2 players, but there are instructions included to play in teams and I think that would bring a whole other level of strategy into play! The construction of the game is nice too, the mat is durable and I think nicer than a folding board. I recommend putting your chips in ziplock bags to store them. Overall, great game for a small number of players!Customer Review: EVERYONE in our family loves this
Summary: 5 Stars
Few members of my family like games as much as I do. It's like pulling teeth to get them to play. But, this game gets played even if I'm NOT THERE to start it. My 80 year old father and 55 year old sister even have grudge matches! After teaching it to other friends and family, we have been asked to "buy it for Christmas" for them. So far, we've given five of these games, by request. It's an easy game to teach and you can learn it in about 5 minutes. We've played with two to eight people. We like it best as a one on one game or in two person teams. Sequence is like Bingo, Po-ke-no and a "luck o' the draw" card game. It's not heavy on strategy, but it does make you think. Chance plays a big part, especially when you draw a Jack since it is WILD. Just BE CAREFUL, IT'S ADDICTIVE! Some have lost many hours of sleep for "just one more game".
