Editorial Review

With touches of canasta, rummy, and poker, this card game could easily become a Friday-night family favorite. The object of the game is to get a "sequence," meaning a row of five poker-like chips on the playing mat. The vinyl mat itself (approximately 28 by 32 inches) shows rows of face-up playing cards. Players place their "crowning" chips on top of the card pictures, and can set up sequences by using careful strategizing and knowing which Sequence cards to keep and discard. Since forethought, luck, and back-up plans are the keys to winning this game, it is probably too sophisticated for children under 7 years old. (But young ones can team up with adults.) The attractive mat and stacks of colorful chips add aesthetic appeal for elders and children alike. --Gail Hudson

5.0 out of 5 stars Jax's Sequence, Jumbo Tube, November 4, 2006

Well worth the extra money for this game format. Purchased a closable travelling soap dish for the cards, and better Ziploc� bags for the chips - and throw everything into the tube. Having read some comments about the flexible board curling gave some hesitation for going this route. This was solved by rolling the board with the printing on the outside, so that when the board is unrolled the natural temporary edge curl is downwards. The only possible negative is the tube is not handy for travelling or storage

Sequence is a game using two decks of cards, where players try to match a card in their hand to the card on the playing board. Get five in a row, a sequence, and you freeze them in place. Do this twice to win. Like all very good games, the rules are simple but play can be complex. Do you build your own sequence or do you block another player? Jacks are wild and can be used to remove a played card or on place of a card. This becomes a game of luck, drawing the right cards. Skill, playing with the right mix of building and blocking and strategy. Easy to learn, it will keep you busy considering the possibilities for hours.
OK, this is a real good fun game. Why not buy the standard version and spend less money? The large playing surface allows everyone to see the board without problems. The tube ensures the playing surface lays flat with no possible chip movement due to folds. Without a clear view of the playing surface, the fun disappears. Older adults, younger... Read more

I did not grow up with this game, but I wish I did. It's a great family game and it's great to play with friends after dinner. The best part is you don't need to already know how to play. You can learn this game in the four minutes it takes to set up the board and shuffle the cards. Our kids play it, and their Grandmother loves it too.

Get the big tube version. It's well worth the investment. I't easier to see and the texture of the board means the chips don't move around much if the table gets bumped. Another good thing is games don't go on forever, a game might go for 30 minutes, more or less, so we'll get about 3 games in when we play.

While the game is not complicated, it's full of decisions and lends itself to strategy. It's not just a random thing who wins. The kids need to have vision and think ahead when they play. Thinking in patterns is also helpful and trying to time plays is also important. One final benefit, is that the kids have never... Read more
