Explanation of Game Conditions
Sequence is a strategic board and card game where players compete to form sequences of five chips in a row on a game board. The board consists of a 10 x 10 grid displaying all the cards (except Jacks) from two standard 52-card decks. Each player or team plays a card from their hand and places a chip on the corresponding card space on the board, aiming to create a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal sequence of five chips.
Jacks play a special role in the game: two-eyed Jacks are wild and can be placed anywhere, while one-eyed Jacks allow players to remove an opponent’s chip. The four corners of the board are free spaces that count for all players.
The game requires a mix of strategy and luck, as players must carefully plan their moves while blocking their opponents. The first player or team to reach the required number of sequences wins the game.
