Sequence is one of those rare games that can be played by many people of widely different ages at the same time. A little skill and a lot of luck make this an easy game to learn, but sometimes very tough to win. It's more of a card game than a board game, so I can see why one reviewer said it requires "no skill," but I don't think that's a reason to "dis" the game: after all, most card games rely more on luck than anything else, don't they? However, I don't really think you can call this game "educational" except in the sense that it does help the younger kids learn about the suits and types of playing cards. And so what if it's not educational? It's Fun!

The game description does not tell you that although 2 to 12 people can play, it must be in multiples of 2 or 3. There are only 3 sets of color chips to play with, and you have to have evenly divided "teams" when you play with more than 3 people. This means that 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 or 12 people can play, but not 5, 7 or 11. (I'm sure you can figure out some way to make this work, too, especially if you've got younger children who want to get into the game).

Sequence is really easy to learn, and games are usually short, so you can play a few before you move on to something else. The biggest problem (if you can call it that) my crowd has experienced has been the "no table talk" rule of the game, which just lets us fool around trying to get our team-mates to know how we'd like them to play without saying it directly.

If you're looking for a challenge, or to show how much smarter you are than everyone else, go somewhere else, but if you're looking for a fun and "no-brain-strain" game that you can play with the kids, that "special someone" or a bunch of friends, this is well worth adding to your game collection.

This is a great game for adults and kids.

This is a great game for adults and kids- it combines strategy, skill and a little luck so that it is always exciting. My 6 year old is too young to play except on a team but my 10 year old loves it as do my wife and I. One has to think when the board gets crowded with chips and the room gets very quiet when someone is one chip away from a sequence. The game can be played in anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes.

Awesome game, fun for everybody!!!!

Whenever my family wants to play a game we play Sequence, because its easy to learn, way fun to play, and it doesn't take forever to play! Whenever we play Risk or game like that, it takes us two hours to get through it, but this game only take 15 to 20 minutes to play so we don't have to make a whole night of it! You can have fun playing in teams or just two or three people against each other. It was an awesome game!

My FAVORITE Game!

I love this game, I've played it hundreds of times by now. It is one of the few games that just 2 people can play and the rules are simple, it only takes a minute to refresh your memory if you havent played it in awhile. I can't stand those other games where you struggle through complicated rules and instructions when you just want to get the game started. Often by the time I understand the game I dont feel like playing it anymore, this one gets you into the game asap. It's equally fun with 3 people and you really don't have the advantage of knowing a game better than a newcomer, they pick it up quickly.

Fun for all ages!

Sequence is a board game and card game all in one! It doesn't take long to understand how to play - but good luck wanting to stop! My family has had this game for a year now - and it has never hit the bottom of the pile of games! My 5 & 4 yr old daughters love it too! They play by themselves or team up with Dad & I.

The game consists of a board with 2 decks of cards printed on it. 2 decks of cards are used to play the game, along with 3 different colors of chips. 2-12 players can play - tho I recommend keeping it to 2, 3 or 6 to be the most fun. You are dealt approximately 6 cards (depends on the # of players) and you use those cards to put your chips on the board. The goal is to get 5 chips in a row (a Sequence!)and get the most Sequences on the board before it is full. There are wild cards to throw some guessing into the mix too!

This is a wonderful family game! I highly recommend it. This one won't disappoint even the youngest or oldest of players!
