Sequence Board Game Rules

Number Of Players

• Sequence can be played by two or three individuals. It can also be played by two or three teams, with the teams consisting of multiple players. There can be up to 12 players in the game.

Number Of Cards Dealt

• Deal cards face down to each player. With only two players, each player gets seven cards. With 12 players, having four players on each team, each player would get three cards. The number of cards decreases as the number of players increases between that range.

Taking Turns

• On a player's turn, he can show one of his cards and place a chip on any space on the playing area that matches that card exactly. The card is then discarded.

Jacks

• There are four two-eyed Jacks and four one-eyed Jacks in the deck. Playing a two-eyed Jack allows the player to place a chip on any space on the playing board that does not already have a chip on it. Playing a one-eyed Jack allows the player to remove any chip of any of his opponents' from the game board. A piece in a completed sequence cannot be removed.

Winning

• To win, if you are playing with two players or teams, you must complete two sequences of five spaces in a row horizontally, diagonally or vertically. If you are playing with three players or three teams, the first player or team to complete one five-space sequence wins.
