Well worth the extra money for this game format. Purchased a closable travelling soap dish for the cards, and better Ziploc® bags for the chips - and throw everything into the tube. Having read some comments about the flexible board curling gave some hesitation for going this route. This was solved by rolling the board with the printing on the outside, so that when the board is unrolled the natural temporary edge curl is downwards. The only possible negative is the tube is not handy for travelling or storage

Sequence is a game using two decks of cards, where players try to match a card in their hand to the card on the playing board. Get five in a row, a sequence, and you freeze them in place. Do this twice to win. Like all very good games, the rules are simple but play can be complex. Do you build your own sequence or do you block another player? Jacks are wild and can be used to remove a played card or on place of a card. This becomes a game of luck, drawing the right cards. Skill, playing with the right mix of building and blocking and strategy. Easy to learn, it will keep you busy considering the possibilities for hours.
OK, this is a real good fun game. Why not buy the standard version and spend less money? The large playing surface allows everyone to see the board without problems. The tube ensures the playing surface lays flat with no possible chip movement due to folds. Without a clear view of the playing surface, the fun disappears. Older adults, younger children or groups of six players will find this version of the game keeps you playing. Being able to see the board will keep players from getting tired of trying to see cards on the small board. This will very quickly end play and move you to another game.
Physically this very impress presentation is easy on your eyes and worth the extra money.

I did not grow up with this game, but I wish I did. It's a great family game and it's great to play with friends after dinner. The best part is you don't need to already know how to play. You can learn this game in the four minutes it takes to set up the board and shuffle the cards. Our kids play it, and their Grandmother loves it too.

Get the big tube version. It's well worth the investment. I't easier to see and the texture of the board means the chips don't move around much if the table gets bumped. Another good thing is games don't go on forever, a game might go for 30 minutes, more or less, so we'll get about 3 games in when we play.

While the game is not complicated, it's full of decisions and lends itself to strategy. It's not just a random thing who wins. The kids need to have vision and think ahead when they play. Thinking in patterns is also helpful and trying to time plays is also important. One final benefit, is that the kids have never fought over the play or outcome of this game.

We have enjoyed playing the Sequence game for years, but now that we are "senior citizens" this jumbo enlarged board & chips have made it even more fun for our group of 6 get togethers. The flat fold-up board always had a reflection while playing the game at night and was hard to see for players in the strategic positions where the light would shine on the "board". With the roll up larger "oilcloth" style of board, this elimates the glare and much easier on the eyes. We ordered 3 of the games and the one we have has smeared numbers at the top of the game board - we can make it out OK, but we were disappointed that the numbers weren't a little clearer (the 4-5 & 6 of spades). Otherwise, a much improved game for us older folks.

This has been a very fun game so far. I haven't played teams with it yet and I think it will make it even funner. You can work on making your sequence or focus on blocking others from making theirs. It is a very easy game to learn and play. For young kids all they need to do is match the card in their hand with the card symbol on the board so they can play along with adults. Adults have to use stratigy on which place is best to lay down their chips. It is a very large container to store the game in but it will keep the mat in good shape for years to come. Fun game!

My husband and I love this game. We try to find time each day to play at least two games a day. We're anxious to show our grandchildren the game.
However, they are only two years old. It's fun to play with two but it's even more fun playing with four people. I really recommend the Jumbo Sequence. It lays nice and flat on the table and the size is great!

Not much to say other than if you enjoy playing card games this one is a must! The Jumbo version is much easier to play due to the increased visibility of the cards on the board - the smaller boards are just TOO small for an enjoyable game. Too bad we hadn't found it a long time ago.

If you like this game (and it comes in many formats) be sure to buy this jumbo board. Makes the game so much easier to see and play.

We love to play Sequence so when we heard about the large mat packed in a tube we knew we had to have one. It arrived packed in a huge box - thot I'd ordered a dozen instead of just one. But when we unwrapped it we found it was just what we wanted.

A friend of mine introduced me to this game...I enjoyed it so much, I had to order one for myself to share with other friends and family. It is a great game played with partners...I love to think through my strategy for my next move and block our opponents.



We have a lot of fun playing this game, and really enjoy the Jumbo size..makes it a lot easier to play. Also available in smaller sizes for travel.
