This is a great party game that all my friends, my son, and his friends love. The mechanics are easy and also challenging at the same time, making it appropriate for everyone 7 and up. I’ve even played it with my aging parents who don’t like to think too much at their age, and they enjoyed it, too! There aren’t too many components to this game which means it’s relatively cheap compared to most other board games, and each game takes about 30 minutes so you don’t need to arrange a game night with friends to play just one game, hence I call this a party game.

Easy fun game, perfect to play as a family.
Actually have gotten my son to play this with me a couple of times! Holds his interest, doesn't feel like a kids game. Love it! Recommended by OT.
I always liked this game but my son kicks my but every single time! I don't mind losing, especially to him but it gets demoralizing. He's 49. I'm 73. He's very smart. I'm not dumb by any means. When we recently started playing again he told me his wife doesn't want to play. He says she doesn't like losing! I guess so!
Sequence is a great game for all ages. It is very easy to learn, and if you’re having a boozy game night it is easy enough to play later on after a few. I like that it comes in a tin rather than a box so it will hold up over the years. (We are big board game people) I think for the price this is a great deal! We play this game more than most. My daughter loves it and is 11.
This is an easy to learn old school type game. If you have an older family member that likes to play cards, this is an engaging board game that they might take to. It's challenging, but easy to learn.It came in a nice metal tin.
Our friends introduced this game to us. We had so much fun that we bought one for ourselves.
Was not in a tin box. Different from image shown.
