 Addictive simple fun! July 10, 2008

I'm a big fan of all board and card games and dominoes so to discover a mix of all of them in this game that ive never even heard of was a real delight, it mixes almost poker with 5 in a row and other games to create this original and highly addictive game - sequence.
It took me a while to really master this game but once you get into it you really learn the nack of blocking your opponent, removing their chips and winning the game! average game play time for us was about 20 minutes and we sat and did best of 10 and it really does get very competitive and is a game that any age can master, my children love it and us adults do as well. very addictive, and simple to grasp the idea then you really learn as you play the true art of sequence, absolutely fantastic game and cant believe i hadnt heard of it before! Highly recommend for those wanting to try something un for all the family!
Addictive board game that'll unleash your competetive spirit July 13, 2008

After playing this several times (and winning the majority of times), I can say with a pleasant smile on my face that Sequence is a timeless board game for all with an attention span and a hidden competetive alter-ego.
That alter-ego will come out of nowhere once each game gets going, the aim of the game is to complete two lines of individual cards on a board (the game's only fault is that this could be easily replicated with two packs of cards and a pen). The games tend to last longer than initially predicted and anyone has a chance of winning - it is essentially, a game of luck (it requires good timing and a solid batch of tactics for the serious players, though).
Of course sequence isn't the kind of card game that involves an alcoholic drink and a wad of cash at the time, its purpose is enjoyment. Things could get a little nasty though when one of your family members lets out a cursed reaction to you playing a key go.
Overall, an addictive, thrilling quick-fire game for the spare hours.

I had low expectation as I opened the Sequence packaging. The box art is pretty dull (cards apparently falling through a green sky. Oooh.) and the game board is just pictures of lots of cards. Not being a fan of card games this didn't look too good. The badly translated instructions didn't really add to my dwindling sense of anticipation either.
But two rounds in and I was hooked. I think we played Sequence 4 times on the first night, and each time different players begged the others to play again. It's certainly addictive. Sequence mixes the 'luck of the draw' element of the traditional family card game with the players own skill in placing card on the board to their advantage or to block their opponents. In this way it's similar to Uno, although the rules and game play are very different.
I've noticed other reviewers complain that the game is too short. Again think Uno here; a single game is short but will have you wanting to play best of 3, then 5, then 7. What is a bit odd about the game is that you can only have 3 individual players, anymore and you will need to construct teams. The team element adds a lot to the play experience and there are rules that cover how the game changes with different numbers of people.
We found that the excitement of the game was heightened by players shouting 'Sequence' on successfully completing a set of cards or 'That's Sequence!' (as in 'That's Block Busters!') on winning the game. Try it! I think the manufactures could have a global family favorite on their hands if they include that in the rule book!
Cracking fun! July 11, 2008

I had a lot of fun getting to know this game. I've played it with a mixed group of children in a variety of formats. You can play with two players or expand the group. I played with 2-6 players today in a whole host of different games. The most effective was the group of 6 with 2 on each team. The children I played with are from a special school for pupils with social, emotional and behavioural problems and they loved it. They found the concentration needed excellent and they were hooked - one particular game lasted about 45 minutes and they didn't want to leave!
The game itself is very easy to follow, the rules are straightforward and the game is quote simple in style - imagine Connect 4 to get you on the right lines. You can be as strategic as you like and the games can last quite a while. Once we'd got the hang of it we were enjoying it more and more to the point where one or two games actually became quite tense with the possibility of two teams out of three being able to win.
As a group we spent five minutes, that's all, reading the rules to check we were playing it correctly. The hardest bit is getting to grips with the dead cards and in fact that is also simple. Children don't even need to know what the suits are called in a pack of cards as you can simply match pictures. I can imagine some of the chips being lost in time - I found a few on my classroom floor, so it's worth taking care with these. However I know they could be replaced quite easily.
Its fun, it's not expensive to buy and it will keep you occupied for ages. Each game is different as you can't predict which way the cards will turn out and who will play their chips where. I've said it's educational and this is because it builds social skills with turn-taking and communicating with each other. It teaches competition and if the size of the group is more than two then it has a team element to it. You also have to use thinking skills to be able to plan where you'd like to place your chips as well as keeping an eye on your competitors.
Overall a great game and one I'm really pleased I've had the chance to receive.
cross between connect 4 and cards June 23, 2008

Excellent. Takes minutes to grasp and hours to master.
A cross between othello, 4-in-a-row and the 'randomness' of cards mixed in with srategy.
A winner. I predict this will be huge.
