The sequence number game, based on the reference provided, involves placing chips on a game board after discarding a card from your hand. Here's how it works:
Sequence Number Game: Detailed Gameplay
The game involves a standard deck of cards, a game board with numbers, and chips for each player. Here's the breakdown of how a turn progresses:
-
Starting the Play: The game begins with the player to the left of the dealer. Play moves in a clockwise direction.
-
Discarding a Card: Each player, on their turn, selects one card from their hand and places it face up on their own discard pile. Each player has their own discard pile in front of them, visible to all other players.
-
Placing a Chip: After discarding a card, the player places one of their chips on a specific position on the game board. The card discarded often (but not always) corresponds with where to place the chip, depending on the rules of the specific Sequence variation. This aspect is not explained further in the reference.
- For example, in standard Sequence, if you discard a 7 of hearts, you place a chip on a corresponding space with a 7 of hearts, if available.
-
Continuing the Game: Play continues with the next player in a clockwise direction.
Key Points to Remember
- Individual Discard Piles: Players have their own discard piles, making it easier to track which cards have been played.
- Clockwise Play: The game progresses smoothly with a consistent turn direction.
- Card-to-Chip Connection: While the reference doesn't explicitly state how the cards discarded relate to the chip placement (beyond saying "then PLACES ONE OF THEIR CHIPS ON ..."), typically in the game of Sequence, the card discarded relates to where you would place your chip on the game board.
