In the sequence game rules it states that if you fail to take a card before the next player takes their turn you lose the right to draw a new card and must finish the game with less cards. My first introduction to Sequence was at a large family gathering. We needed a fun, fast-paced game which could be played by the kids and grandparents alike with easy-to-follow rules – enter Sequence! To win you must complete two sequence strands. A sequence is achieved when you have a row of five chips of the same color. This can occur in any direction, vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. You may use any one of the spaces from one sequence in the second sequence. Or, they may be anywhere else on the board. The game board has four special spaces. One in each corner. These spaces are bonus spaces. When using a corner only four additional cards are necessary to complete a sequence. More than one player can use the same corner space. For example: it can be used in both a horizontal sequence for one team and a diagonal sequence for another.
