Sequence

This game is easy to learn, making a good starter card game for younger kids, but nevertheless requires concentration and patience..

Number of Players:
Best with 4 – 5 but it is possible to play with as few as 2

Age Range:
6+

Cards:
One standard deck

Instructions:
In this game, cards are ranked in numerical order ( 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Knave, Queen, King, Ace). Cards of the same suit make up a sequence.

To start, the whole deck is dealt clockwise around the group, all dealt cards kept face-down. It doesn’t matter if the dealing is unequal.

The player to the left of the dealer places his lowest card face up on the table. Then, the player who has the next card (or cards) in the sequence plays it. Play continues until the entire sequence is complete, from 2 to Ace. Then, the next sequence is begun by whoever played the last card. The winner is the player who is the first to get rid of all his cards.

Variations:

Rounds

This game can also be lengthened by playing in rounds. To do this, each player also starts with ten counters and a number of rounds is agreed upon. Then, every time someone wins a round, the losers pay him one counter for every card they still hold.

The ultimate winner of the whole game is the person with the most counters when the chosen number of rounds has been completed.
