Sequence board game is a combination of board and card game. The board shows all the cards except for the Jacks of two standard 52-card decks, usually laid in a 10 x 10 pattern. The four corners of the board are supposed to be free spaces and count for all players equally.
Sequence board game, known as an abstract strategy board-and-card game, the inventor of the game was Douglas Reuter in Owatonna, Minnesota, over a two-year period in the 1970s and originally called it "Sequence Five". Reuter spent years ahead developing the concept and in June 1981, granted Jax Ltd gained an exclusive license to manufacture, distribute and sell the sequence board game and its subsequent variations worldwide.
Sequence board game can be played with 2 to 12 players. If more than three people are playing, they should divide evenly into two or three teams. The player chooses a card from their hand, and places a chip on a corresponding space on the game board. The players compete to create rows, columns or diagonals of 5 connected checkers placed on the cards that the player has laid down. Two-eyed Jacks are wild, while one-eyed Jacks allow an opponent's checker to be removed. The game ends when someone has reached a specified number of connections. The game ends when a player or team completes 2 sequences. But if the player who played first wins and the second player wins in the next turn it’s a tie.
