Two-eyed Jacks are wild and one-eyed Jacks are anti-wild. Each card has two matching spaces on the board (except for Jacks), and players can place their marker on either one as long as it’s not already taken. Then, they place a marker chip of their color or their team’s color on the matching card space on the board. On a player’s turn, they start by choosing a card from their hand and playing it face-up in front of them in their own personal discard pile. After the dealer deals everyone their cards, the player to their left goes first. For a 3-player/3-team game with 3 players, each player gets 6 cards, with 6 players each player gets 5 cards, with 9 players each player gets 4 cards, and with 12 players each player gets 3 cards. For a 2-player/2-team game with 2 players, each player gets 7 cards, with 4 players each player gets 6 cards, with 6 players each player gets 5 cards, with 8 players each player gets 4 cards, and with 10 or 12 players each player gets 3 cards. The number of cards each player gets depends on whether you’re playing a 2-player/2-team game or a 3-player/3-team game, as well as how many players there are. The dealer shuffles the cards and deals them out to all of the players. Whoever gets the lowest card deals first (aces are high). Start the game by having each player cut the deck of Sequence cards. There can only be up to 3 teams, and each team must have the same number of players. If there are more than 3 players, players must split up into teams. Sequence can be played with 2-12 players.

Sequence is a fun board game where players try to score sequences, or series of 5 chips in the same color on the board.
