I played this years ago with friends and it was a HIT!!!! Laughs and fun all around. I'm printing a new board out to make the game myself! Perfect video to help me remember all the rules
I watched two other videos before this but found this one to be easiest to understand. I think showing players hands and moves is lie watching someone play, the best way to teach!!
@@tomliuyt agree.. seems like a boring, terrible game with little strategy and almost all luck... maybe that is what makes it popular.. just pick a card, choose a square and move on to the next person.. LOL.. 6.1 on bgg so real gamers seem to feel the same.
It's confusing, but I did understand some of it. It's better to play the game to better understand it by playing. Thank you for sharing the rules of the game.
2 untold rules we friend established.... 1) When a player/team is playing for second sequence(one already made) those five markers and spots become immune to jacks i.e. no further interference by single eyed jack. Hence if using any of the those five markers in a cross/ diagnol sequence the opponent can use jacks only to remove any new marker and not the pre established one. 2) Since the above rule of immunity..(as I may say) any team/player making a sequence coming strategically 2 ways ,straight or diagnol, meeting a point where a single marker chains 6 or more spots, the team score a sequence but has to declare which set of 5 markers are there claimed sequence. That sequence stands and wont be interefered in future..the remaing markers and spots stay in play and can be interefered if required by jacks.. Thanks for reading
hey ! i play Sequence , and the 4 corners on the board are like a free spots, so they already count as one chip ! You do not put a chip on the free corners, you can use it towards making your run of 5 chips . In otherwords, you can use the one free corner chip with 4 more chips to make a Sequence ! thats always my strategy, to complete as many sequences as i can using the corners !! Enjoy :)
HELP! Ok in one row. I have 4 tokens, a blank space, then 2 more tokens. I place a token in the blank space now I have 7 in a row. Do I have to determine what part of the 5 is locked Or is it fluid?
A little confused about the 4 corners of the mat/board. Which cards can go there? Or do we use the joker 2 eyed Jacks? How does one make a sequence with a corner? Please elaborate
@bharatmatakijai9601 the corners are free spots, no card is needed. If making a sequence and the corner is used, you only need 4 to complete the sequence. It can be straight or diagonal
Help resolve a dispute please. Do you draw a card after using a one eyed Jack? The rules say “your turn ends” and my aunt says you can’t draw afterwards because of that rule.
When there are two teams, ONE sequence is completed by one of the team and trying to complete 2nd sequence My question is whether opponent team can remove their coin and replace by their own from the sequence which is completed!??
Somebody please explain this rule: - For every 2 players or 2 teams: team players must be evenly divided into 2 teams. Team members must alternate their physical positions with opponents around the playing surface. - For every 3 players or 3 teams: Team members must divide evenly into three teams. Team members will must alternate their physical positions every third player around the playing surface. Players cut cards and lowest card deals - Aces are high. So, like we have to physically alternate our positions?? How would that work?
Are they jacks? Two eyed jacks are wild and you can place your chip on any open space. One eyed jacks are anti-wild and can use it to remove one marker chip from the game board belonging to your opponent. That completes your turn. You cannot place one of your marker chips on that same space during this turn. You cannot remove a marker chip that is already part of a completed SEQUENCE.
Whomever did not understand i can explain so if ur playing 2 ppl so u should give 7 cards and select the team which u wanted to be and take the chips and start the game so example blue team has to start now so he choose a any card and place them in the board so check the same! Symbol which has been there and place the chip in there so it has to straight to complete the game like ----- this so u have to check it has some space like when it is like this / or ! Like this an example so green team keeps there chip like this - ! Like this soo u dont have space ur card should be ded card and take the other card and skip ur chance and if u...i cant explain abt the characters 😢
Can you go diagonal from the corner it just mentions one player using it to go horizontal and the other player going vertical so I don’t know if that’s an example or the only rule?
If y want a real challenge to the game y add the 4 jokers with the black and white jokers doing either a take off or a put on while the red and white joker exchanges chips. You dont quit after 2 scores but you play on till the whole board is filled and the pick up cards run out. That way you get much more scoring being able to get many more doubles, triples, and even quadrupals
ok interesting strategy...i will try this ty :) ...what did you mean by "exchanges chips" ? ...does it mean you remove the other players chip, and replace it with one of your chips ? thanks :)
About what? You get don't like six cards or seven cards and those are your chips down on and you try to build a sequence which is 5 slot or five chips on five different things
What if player puts the chip on board say 10diamond, then removes his hand and within seconds he immediately switches to another 10 diamond position. Is it still valid !?
I first discarded 10 diamond card and placed chip on 10 diamond, I removed my hand from the chip and within fraction of seconds I changed it another 10 diamond position. Is the move valid ? I was not satisfied with my original 10 diamond location and I changed it before the next players turn . Thanku
Your turn ends when you draw the replacement card. So, you can change your mind up until that point. This is not Chess, in which your turn ends after you remove your hand.
But he said if you fail to get a replacement card by the time the next player takes a replacement card you miss out on a replacement card and continue with less cards so it is rational to assume that your turn has ended when you place your token not collecting a replacement card, and so, usually you can't move it after placing it. Similar to tablecard rules
On your turn - you produce a card from your hand, then place one of your team's coloured markers (chips) on either of the same two cards on the board. If one of the pair is already covered then your choice is obviously limited to the single one that is still free - then draw a card from the deck to replace the one just played. A double eye Jack in your hand lets you play a chip on any free space - a single eyed Jack lets you remove any opponents chip from the board. There are a couple or so rules for specific situations, but this is the basics for playing from your hand on your turn.
MACONE Scotland thanks for that explanation. When I posted the inquiry above (with some ”typos” by the way, sorry for those ), I was more focused on understanding how to play the wild (aka, Joker) cards. Yesterday I came across a video that says the wild/joker cards may be put aside as they are not playable, and if you want to use a corner, you simply play a sequence of four around them (vertically, horizontally or diagonally). Is that how it is?
@@SirOreo62 The Joker cards in each of the two packs have no part in the game and can be discarded or destroyed immediately - why there are included makes no sense at all. Otherwise you have it - the four corners are "universal" (for want of a better term) and can be used to produce a sequence when combined with four markers/chips as you describe. I'm still getting clued up on a couple or so rules for specific situations. For example, it is possible to have a card in your hand which cannot be played because both the relevant spaces on the board have already been covered - this occurs when at least one of the Two Eyed Jacks has been used. In this scenario you can opt to "burn" the unplayable card by putting it to the bottom of the deck and drawing a fresh card from the top - but that is your turn over. I hope that is clear !!!
MACONE Scotland thanks for that answer!!! That's what I wanted to know. Even the instructions included in the game were not clear enough to me. I was left with the impression that they would be used like any other regular card.
@@SirOreo62 I was lucky - had one of those "Eureka" moments when the penny dropped and realised that the Jokers were totally redundant - went back to the instructions and it does say that !!! Can't understand why they are included - the decks are clearly printed with the Sequence logo so are obviously intended for the game equipment. It would not be rocket science to have the card manufacturers drop them from the production run. During lockdown we have been playing against two relatives using iPads on Facetime - it works fine as 2 v 2 with one person in each household partnering up to produce opposing teams - you MUST mothball one deck of cards from each box so as to maintain 104 cards in play across the two households, otherwise it doesn't pan out. One player in each location deals the cards for both people in the same household - then play continues with each team replicating what chips have been played on a board in front of them - it's essential that both households keep a 100% accurate record of what's been played - one error can cause a fallout !!! It only works out as a 2 v 2 setup as above, a third team can't participate because of the two deck issue. BTW - it took me while to figure out why there are fewer red markers than the other two colours - that is also covered in the instructions !!! My dad had a mantra when a new piece of kit was purchased - "when all else fails, read the instructions" !!!

Fire! Me and my cousins gathered together and played this heck so much fun!
your explanation is more conprehensive to new to the game .thank u just subscribed.
Very helpful my girlfriend tried to explain this to me and it did not work so thanks for explaining it fully!
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Such an effective way of explaining the game, the game looks fun!
Simple and straight to the point. Thanks.
Thank you for showing the steps to play the game. Can’t wait to show to my students. 😊
played this with my cousins in the summer til 4am...had soo much fun i had to buy it myself so i can play it with my nieces..
This was soooooooo helpful. Bought one from Target last week. Didn't know what to do. But this tutorial was God for me😁

My sister introduced me to this game. It is soooo much fun!!
@Carey Hunt This game was first sold in retail stores in 1982.
Never have heard of this game. Looks interesting.
Yes
Its awesome
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing this 😊😊😊😊
Thanks a lot 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Ty so much it really help and I won ever game
This video crushed it! You sound very Midwestern!
We just opened our game last night and WE LOVE IT!!!! Can’t wait to play with the parents over a bottle of bourbon 😂🤣💝💝💝 thank you
2:02 i literally thought my video was bugged because of how still his hand was lol
Really interesting game...better when played as teams of 2 or 3 players :-)
Really good in teams of 2
if you make a row of 6 markers in a straight line does it count as 2 x 5 marker sequences?
thank you. well explained. now to find the game on sale.
It’s on sale at jcp for 10.99
great explanation thanks x
Thanks! I'm loving this game
ive got sequence at christmas now i play with my family
Very Nice
How do you place the markers in the corners? Can u use any card to place a marker there or do u just place it without playing a card orrr
hey ! i play Sequence , and the 4 corners on the board are like a free spots, so they already count as one chip ! You do not put a chip on the free corners, you can use it towards making your run of 5 chips . In otherwords, you can use the one free corner chip with 4 more chips to make a Sequence ! thats always my strategy, to complete as many sequences as i can using the corners !! Enjoy :)
What is that 4 corners used as?
just started to play need some tactics also a fun game
Thanks for the helpful video. For future reference, since cards can be counted, "fewer cards" is correct while "less cards" is not.
To add, the word “amount” is used for things that cannot be counted, while the word “number” is used for things that can be counted.
HELP! Ok in one row. I have 4 tokens, a blank space, then 2 more tokens. I place a token in the blank space now I have 7 in a row. Do I have to determine what part of the 5 is locked Or is it fluid?
Thanks! Just played it with my family oh boy it gets competitive lol
Thank you !,you really helped me :)
I have an older version of this, but the concept is the same.
After throwing away the dead card & drawing your card . Do you still draw another card after continuing your play ?
Yes
Does anyone know how the free spaces work? Can you use them however you like?
Very interesting game and thank you for this video
I remember playing this like 20 years ago lol
Thanks. Well explained
A little confused about the 4 corners of the mat/board. Which cards can go there? Or do we use the joker 2 eyed Jacks? How does one make a sequence with a corner? Please elaborate
The 4 corners can be used by anyone meaning u can put any card there and u can make a sequence by making a diagonal line instead of a straight one
@@ahmedsultan9945 so we can't make a straight sequence in the corner? Only a diagonal sequence?
@bharatmatakijai9601 the corners are free spots, no card is needed. If making a sequence and the corner is used, you only need 4 to complete the sequence. It can be straight or diagonal
What happens when a player plays out of turn?
They have to pick up that chip and allow the right person to play.
Help resolve a dispute please. Do you draw a card after using a one eyed Jack? The rules say “your turn ends” and my aunt says you can’t draw afterwards because of that rule.
You always draw a card, the only exception is if you cheat and help your teammate out if you’re playing in teams.
2:00 that card: uh, what do i do?
this game is great!!!
When there are two teams, ONE sequence is completed by one of the team and trying to complete 2nd sequence
My question is whether opponent team can remove their coin and replace by their own from the sequence which is completed!??
No, a coin from a completed sequence cannot be removed
I play sequence years ago. Fun game.
Please, do you know how to play a game called "Yellow Dwarf"?
How many marker chips should be given??
Unlimited
Thank you
How many cards do we disturb
Why two decks of cards? Are they shuffled together?
Because each card appears twice on the game board of 96 cards, so 2 decks are necessary. Yes, they are all shuffled together.
Do I have to shuffle both decks together?
Somebody please explain this rule:
- For every 2 players or 2 teams: team players must be evenly divided into 2 teams. Team members must alternate their physical positions with opponents around the playing surface.
- For every 3 players or 3 teams: Team members must divide evenly into three teams. Team members will must alternate their physical positions every third player around the playing surface.
Players cut cards and lowest card deals - Aces are high.
So, like we have to physically alternate our positions?? How would that work?
Just to be clear, I can play this game with only two players? Example just me & my mom?
Same question
Yes
If 3 teams or more are playing can a marker be used across 2 sequences? Or is that only when 2 teams are playing?
Only when 2 teams are playing, when 3 teams are playing you only have to get 1 sequence
Is this game still fun with just two people? I don’t have a big family so need a game that’s still enjoyable with just two
@2:46 You show 2 sequences of 4, not 2 sequences of 5....??
For the corners you only need to connect 4
Wow this game looks crazy!
So if I get any card can I play it on the corners?
No
The game comes with jokers. What are the rules for those cards or do they not get used?
Are they jacks? Two eyed jacks are wild and you can place your chip on any open space. One eyed jacks are anti-wild and can use it to remove one marker chip from the game board belonging to your opponent. That completes your turn. You cannot place one of your marker chips on that same space during this turn. You cannot remove a marker chip that is already part of a completed SEQUENCE.
Jokers are only for decorations they aren’t played in the game...
Whomever did not understand i can explain so if ur playing 2 ppl so u should give 7 cards and select the team which u wanted to be and take the chips and start the game so example blue team has to start now so he choose a any card and place them in the board so check the same!

Can you go diagonal from the corner it just mentions one player using it to go horizontal and the other player going vertical so I don’t know if that’s an example or the only rule?
Yes definitely
If we put a chip on let's say 10 of clubs and in like another roung I wanted to move the marker to the other 10 of club but still play my turn can I?
No, a chip cannot be moved after it has been placed.
What do I do when the board fills up? Is it a draw? (I was playing with 3 players so 3 teams).
3 players can play individually
Can we use the four corners to make a sequence
Yes you can, as there's a coin printed on the four corners of the board which can be used as the fifth coin.
Yes you can. So can other teams
If y want a real challenge to the game y add the 4 jokers with the black and white jokers doing either a take off or a put on while the red and white joker exchanges chips. You dont quit after 2 scores but you play on till the whole board is filled and the pick up cards run out.

I'm 😕 confused
About what? You get don't like six cards or seven cards and those are your chips down on and you try to build a sequence which is 5 slot or five chips on five different things
1:12
If I have a sequence in the middle of the board, can I add 2 and 3 chips on either side to form 2 new sequences or is the original sequence fixed?
The original sequence is fixed. You can use 1 chip from a completed sequence towards another sequence.
Thank you!
What if you get another dead card two times in a row? Do you still get to draw a card and place the card?
Yes, you can replace the card again.
@@GatherTogetherGames So just keep drawing the cards until you don't have a dead card anymore?
I can't understand anything 😭
Good
same😢

True bro
Bro it is literally easy to understand
What if player puts the chip on board say 10diamond, then removes his hand and within seconds he immediately switches to another 10 diamond position. Is it still valid !?
As long as the next player has not yet placed a marker, I would say yes it is valid. Once someone else plays, no.
I have 2 card decks handy in my sequence game.
Suppose I keep joker first my another person rest of card 4 kept after there remove my joker u win game
I am watching because to learn

What happens after all the cards on board has a chip on it and there is no sequence?

How dingo I play then the cards with the chips symbol. The video doesn’t show how to play then. It just says you can use the corners as a wild card.
