Sequence Card Game Rules

The Sequence game is a turn-based card-matching game played between 2 players. The game's objective is to be the first player to create two sequences of three cards in a row, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

The objective of the sequence game is to create a turn-based card-matching experience where two players compete against each other to match cards in their hands with those on the game table. This will allow them to create a sequence of three cards that are adjacent to one another, in any direction, on the game table. The goal is to make two sequences of three cards straight in any direction. The player who successfully creates two sequences first wins the game.

When playing the game, it is important to follow these rules and conditions:

You will need a deck of 52 cards. Also, there will be one trump card placed in the center of the board, which can be used as any card. Additionally, there will be two jokers that can remove your opponent's card or can place a chip on any open slot in the table.

Hand

• To start the game, a card is drawn at random from the deck.
• Then each player is given five cards, one at a time until everyone has their full hand.
• Players are able to view their own set of cards, but they are unable to view their opponent's cards.
• On their turn, the player must place one card from their hand to match the card on the table. They can only do this one card at a time.
• In order to increase their chances of creating two sequences before anyone else, they need to place their card on the table.
• In order to complete their turn, they must place the card on the table before the time limit of Turn time (Tt) minutes expires.
• A hand in a deck of cards can consist of any suited card from Ace to 10, Queen, King, as well as the "One eye Joker" or "Two eye Joker."
• Due to random distribution, we have no control if a player gets both jokers.

Valid Sequences

• A valid sequence consists of three same-colour chips placed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent to each other. The chips can only be placed by matching the card in hand with the same card on the board on the player’s turn.
• Once a player places their chips to form a valid sequence, those chips cannot be removed using the 'Remover Joker'.
• The opponent is not allowed to use the chips of the player to create an overlapping sequence. For example, if Player 1 creates a sequence of A♤, 9♡, and K♧, the opponent cannot use any of those cards to form their sequence.
• The player cannot use their chips to create a second overlapping sequence. In other words, they cannot be overlapped once chips are placed.

Using Jokers

• There are two types of jokers: 1-eyed joker and 2-eyed joker.
• 1-eyed joker or Remover joker: It can replace an opponent's card on the table but cannot remove cards in pre-set sequences.
• 2-eyed joker: You can place it on any available slot on the table.

Drawing Cards

• Players draw one card from the closed deck after placing a card on the table.
• If a player has no valid moves, they must draw a card from the closed deck.
• If the closed deck is empty, players must discard cards from their hands until the game ends.

Central Trump Card

• Both players can use the central trump card.
• Trump card can be used as any card, including completing or extending sequences.
However, once a sequence is formed, the trump card cannot be used again.
• Chips placed on the table in a valid sequence also cannot be used again by either player.

Winning the Game

• The first player to create two sequences of three cards, each horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins the game.
• If all the cards in the closed deck are drawn, and no player has achieved the winning condition, the game ends in a draw.
• Players can choose a rematch option where they both agree to start a new game with a full reset game board and deck. This creates a completely new game for the players.
• Please note that the platform fee will still apply for each re-match.

In the card game Sequence, a sequence is a row of three chips, called a sequence, on the board by placing the chips on the board spaces corresponding to cards played from the player's hand.

To form rows, chips may be placed vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Each complete row of three is counted as a sequence. Sequence rules dictate no table talk or coaching between team members and a precise order in which hands must be played.

At Tripsy Games, your objective is to create two sequences of three chips/cards before your opponents do. To achieve this, you only need to match three cards from your hand to the card on the board in any direction, regardless of their suit. So, you can use any card you have in your hand to form a sequence of three chips. Rest assured that whether the cards are of the same or different suit is not a concern - your main focus should be on creating a sequence before your opponent does.

The first player or team with the required number of sequences wins the game.

Example:

• It can be of any suit. The cards in a sequence do not need to be of the same suit.
• Sequences can be in any direction. Sequences can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.
• Sequences must be complete.
• A sequence can be blocked by another player placing a chip on one of the spaces in the sequence.

How to Form a Sequence?

Rules for forming a sequence

• Placing three chips in a row on the game board forms a sequence.
• A player can have more than one sequence on the board.
• You must form a sequence in a straight line, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Remember, forming valid sequences is the key to winning the Sequence game.
