GAME INSTRUCTIONS
Equipment
Game board, 104 Sequence cards, 48 blue marker chips, 48 green marker chips, 48 red marker chips.
Players: Any number from 2 to 12 that is divisible by 2 or 3 can play (2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 or 12). Up to 3 may
play individually. More than 3 must be in teams. No more than 3 teams can play.
GAME FOR 2 PLAYERS OR 2 TEAMS
Object of the game
One player or team must score TWO SEQUENCES before their opponents.
A Sequence is a connected series of five of the same color marker chip in a straight line, either up and
down, across or diagonally on the playing surface.
Preparation
Choose two colors of chips. Keep the third color away from the game board.
Team players must be evenly divided into two teams. Team members must alternate their physical positions
with opponents around the playing surface.
Players cut cards and lowest card deals - Aces are high.
The dealer should shuffle the cards and deal out the same number of cards to each player (see table below
for proper number of cards to be dealt). The remaining cards are laid down as draw deck, facing down. The
players now pick up their cards making sure no one see them.
Place the game board on a flat surface with enough room around the game board for placement of the draw
deck of cards, marker chips and discards for each player.
Number of cards dealt each player
2 players - 7 cards each 8 players - 4 cards each
4 players - 6 cards each 10 players - 3 cards each
6 players - 5 cards each 12 players - 3 cards each
How you play the game
Begin with the player to the left of the dealer and move in a clockwise direction.
Your turn
You select a card of your choice from your hand and place it face up on a discard pile (players should start
their own discard pile in front of them visible to all other players).
Then place one of your marker chips on the matching card on the game board.
Finally, you draw a new card from the draw deck.
Be careful! Once you have taken your turn and placed your marker chip on the game board, you must take a
card from the draw deck. It you fail to take a card before the next player makes a move AND takes his/her
card, you lose the right to take a card and you must finish the game with less cards than the other players -
a disadvantage.
The game board. Each card is pictured twice on the game board, with the exception of the Jacks (see
below). A player can play on either one of the card spaces as long as it is not already covered by another
marker chip.
Bonus chips. The printed chips in the four corners of the game board are Bonus chips. All players must use
them as though their color marker chip is in the corner. When using a corner, only four of your marker chips
are needed to complete a Sequence. More than one player may use the same corner as part of a
Sequence.
These two teams are busy building a Sequence; one team a vertical Sequence, the other
team horizontal. The teams can easily share the Bonus chip in the corner and thereby both count it as a part
of their Sequence.
The Jacks. There are 8 Jacks in the card deck, some with two eyes, other with one-eye.
The Jacks with TWO EYES are wild. To play a two-eyed Jack, place it on your discard pile and place one of
your marker chips on any open space on the game board.
