Toys and Games Reviews of Sequence Game
Customer Review: Surprisingly great game!
Summary: 5 Stars
Me and the wife bought this game a couple months ago kinda skeptical. But we were in a panic because we were having people come over and wanted to get a couple things to entertain them. This was all that we could find at the local family owned store up the street from our house. We brought it home and pulled it out for everyone to play letting them know it was our first time as well. Within 5 mins we were playing like pros and everyone had a great time with this game. 2 of the couples that came over actually went out and bought this game and invited us over to play it with them. This game can either be played as a free for all or on teams which I thought was really fun seeing as though it was a couples night at our house. We have kids as well and they couldn't wait to play either. This is a good party/family game that is a gem and instant classic!Customer Review: Fun..... for a while
Summary: 4 Stars
Sequence is fun for the first few weeks after purchasing it, but after a while it becomes boring. It is a very simple game that anyone can understand. Although it does involve a bit of luck, it involves more skill and strategy that people would think.
While the board and chips are strong, the cards are very flimsy. The rules state that you should play until someone gets 3(?) sequences, but I find it much more fun to play until either all the chips are used up or until there are no more cards left. Our family enjoys occasionally pulling out Sequence to play every once in a while.
If you like strategy and want to play this game with young children, this game is great. I find it a bit dull and for anyone looking for a bit more excitement, I recommend that you purchase a different game.
Customer Review: Not a lot of strategic depth
Summary: 2 Stars
The design of this game tends to constrain player choice heavily, preventing you from hatching and executing satisfying strategies. Most of the game result comes down to pure luck and good timing in the use of wildcards. The reason this is the case is that the game requires a 5 in a row to win, but the rows you can play are bingo style to cards you are drawing... So it ends up being mostly pure chance.
I do like that the game is extremely easy to learn, so from that perspective its a plus, but there are a lot of card games and board games that are just as easy to learn, but significantly more interesting from a strategy perspective.
While this is likely to be a fun family game, it's pretty terrible for adults who play board games in general
Customer Review: MY FAVORITE BOARD GAME OF ALL TIME!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is soooo much fun! My husband and I love it. We usually play with just the two of us but we have played teams before with his parents. Winning is so much fun!!!!! The object of the game is to be the first person (or team) to get two sets (or sequences)of 5 chips in a row on the board. You must work on buiding your own sequences while at the same time trying to prevent your opponent(s) from getting theirs. This game is A BLAST!! I never get bored with it. Sequence is the most fun you can have playing a game without getting drunk or naked. That's my opinion anyway! If you've never played sequence you really should give it at try. I play it every chance I get. LOTS OF FUN! 5 ++++++ STARS. GREAT GAME!!!!!Customer Review: Addictive!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 17-year-old son and I played one game, and we were hooked. We also found we could play several rounds quite quickly. Then my 30-something stepdaughter, who had introduced us to the game, joined in, and we realized that adding a third player (or team) changes the dynamic dramatically. Suddenly, each player is working against two, rather than one. We had a great time but ate up a couple of hours in the process (on just one round!). Not everyone rated this game high for educational value, but I disagree - I think it's excellent for honing strategic thinking skills. Not to mention 'way better than sitting around watching "The King of Queens."
