JAX Games - Jumbo Sequence

Ages 7 through Adult
Up to 12 players 

Play a card from your hand, place a chip on a corresponding space on the game board...when you have five in a row, it's a SEQUENCE. Learn to block your opponents - remove their chips. Watch out for the Jacks - THEY'RE WILD! With a little strategy and a little luck - you're a winner!

SEQUENCE:
A connected series of five of the same colored chip either up or down, across or diagonally on the playing surface.

NOTE: The game must be played with the true color of chips facing up, white printed side facing down. When a Sequence has been established, these chips must be turned over, exposing the white printed side of the chip. This indicates to all players that a Sequence has occurred and cannot be disturbed.

NOTE: There are printed chips in the four corners of the game mat. All players must use them as though their color marker chip is in the corner. When using a corner, only four of your marker chips are needed to complete a Sequence. More than one player may use the same corner as part of a Sequence.
