Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
Durability:
Educational:
Fun:
I think a lot of the people reviewing this have been fairly harsh to be honest. The game isn't dynamic but is still good for a hour or two of fun. The main goal of the game is to use the cards in your hand to make sequences of five cards in-a-row and using the Jack cards as "wild" cards.
As a family we play card and board games every so often so we were interested in how this slightly odd sounding premise would actually play out.
Positives:
1. The board is well presented, the cards and tokens are good quality.
2. The game-play is very simple and is fairly easy to pick-up.
3. The game is fairly quick to play which suits us as we like to play a few rounds with different teams or to make sure that everyone stays involved which is the one down side to playing longer games like Risk and Monopoly.
4. Does involve some tactical work (when to use the Jacks) but without being laboured in this meaning even people who don't like longer games don't get bored.
Negatives:
1. Instructions are a little difficult to decipher at first. For such a simple game the instructions are not the clearest but once you get through them it is an easy game.
2. There are only three colours of tokens which means that only three individuals can play at any one time. If more then 3 people want to play you have to play in teams which is fun but can be a bit annoying.
All-in-all I would recommend this game if you are looking for a fairly simple and quick game. I'm not sure how much it would appeal to children who may lose interest but for young adults and older it would be a decent option. It is well made and fairly easy to pass a couple of hours without the intensity or commitment of the likes of Monopoly, Cluedo or Risk which always seems to cause arguments in our household.

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)

The aim of Sequence is quite simple - each player must aim to get two sequences of 5 game tiles on the board to win the game. To do this, each player starts with a set number of playing cards. They then discard a card of their choice from their hand and place a tile piece on the corresponding place on the board. After your turn you take another card from the stack and the game continues until either player get two rows of 5 tiles. Throw into the mix the jokers (where one-eyed jacks mean you can remove an opponent's tile from the board and two-eyed jacks means you can place a tile anywhere on the board regardless of whether or not you hold the appropriate card) and you have a very enjoyable and at times strategic game.
I'll admit that at first we didn't think this game would be particularly fun as you start off simply placing tiles randomly on the board. However as more and more tiles appear on the board you start to get into the swing of things and strategy comes into play. As well as looking out for your own sequences, you can easily disrupt another player's sequence by placing your own tile in the way of their potential sequence. This adds another element to the game as you attempt to thwart and sabotage your opponent.
The game itself seems well made and all the pieces, cards, board and instructions fit back into the box easily so storage is not going to be a problem. I hate games where you take out all the pieces and then find they don't fit back into the box when you're finished playing! I did find the instructions a bit baffling at first but once you've read them through a few times then the game is very simple to pick up.
Overall, this is a fun game with a little bit of strategy thrown in. It doesn't take too long to play but will make you want to just have one more game every time. 5 star fun and a good family game that's highly recommended.

We bought this as an addition to our games compendium in the caravan. The requirements are, compact, easy to learn, good value and a convenient playing time. The outcome of any game that uses cards will inevitably be subject to 'luck' but concentration is certainly needed too. This game ticked all our boxes well and we have now brought it in doors for the bad TV nights.
