How to play Sequence online

PlaySequence follows the familiar Sequence format — match cards to board spaces, build five-in-a-row, and use Jacks to control the board.

The Board

PlaySequence uses a 10×10 grid of playing cards with wild corners. Teams take turns choosing a card from their hand and placing a chip on a matching board space. First to complete the required number of sequences wins.

Card Actions

  • Normal cards — place a chip on a matching board space.
  • Two-eyed Jacks — wild card. Place a chip on any open, non-wild space.
  • One-eyed Jacks — remove an opponent's chip (unless it's inside a completed sequence).
  • Corner spaces — permanently wild; count as part of any team's sequence.

Winning

A sequence is five chips in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. With two teams, first to two sequences wins. With three teams, first to one sequence wins.

Ways to Play

  • Create a private room and invite friends with a code.
  • Use matchmaking to find a random online opponent.
  • Play the bot to practice strategy without waiting.

Pro tip

Block your opponent's sequences before completing your own — defense wins more games than pure offense.
