INTRODUCTION OF SEQUENCE STACKS 

Sequence Stacks reimagines the classic board game Sequence as a pure card game.  Rather than play chips to a board, players add cards to stacks with the goal of completing sequences of numbers 1 – 5 in the same color.  When a player completes a sequence, they collect a chip, and the first player to earn five chips is the winner.   

Things get a little tricky in Sequence Stacks though.  Players must get both red and blue chips, and there are plenty of action cards that will give players the tools they need to mess with their opponents. 

CONTENTS 

The game includes a 120 card deck.  There are 60 blue cards and 60 red cards.  Each color has nien copies of numbers 1 – 5 and seven wild cards.  Within the deck, there are sixteen action cards including three skips, three reverses, three steal-a-cards, three blocks, and four steal-a-chip cards. 

SETUP  

For a game that includes 3 – 6 players, all of the cards are used.  For a two player game, some of the cards are removed.  Remove all of the reverse cards, one block card, two steal-a-chip cards, one steal-a-card card, and one skip card. 

Determine a dealer.  That player shuffles the deck and deals five cards to each player.  The rest of the deck is placed face down in the center of the table as a draw pile.  There needs to be room for two sequence piles on either side of the draw pile.  Place the blue and red chips on either side of where the sequence piles will be. 

THE PLAY 

The player seated left of the dealer goes first.  A player may play as many cards as possible on their turn.  A sequence pile must be started with a 1 or a wild card of the same color and continue in sequential order (and in the same color) until a 5 is played.   

When a player is able to place a 5 on the pile (or a wild in the place of a 5), they have finished a sequence.  Set the pile of cards aside and take a chip from the pile that is the same color as the sequence that was completed. 

A player may continue to play cards from their hand until they are out of plays.  If a player is able to play all five of the cards from their hand, they draw five more from the draw pile and continue playing. 

When a player can no longer make a play, they choose one card from their hand and discard it to their own personal discard pile.  The top card of the discard pile can be used during their turn.    메이저사이트추천

If the draw pile ever runs out of cards, thoroughly shuffle the sequence piles that have been removed and use the new deck as a draw pile. 

A player’s turn is over once they discard.  Play passes left unless a reverse card has changed the turn order direction.
