Session report on the game-play

We were a group of 10 students in the class were assigned to play any of the board games or card games. We have picked a game called sequence, it was originated in Minneapolis by Douglas Reuter. Sequence is the game of cards, poker chips and a board with printed cards on it. Before we start to play the game, we have a question in our minds that "how 10 players can play this board game?". Therefore, the booklet of rules in the game box has saved our day and by following the instructions of that tiny little booklet we have started our game.

First Step: We were divided into group of three teams. Each team member of teams has three cards in their hands, a bag of red, blue and green poker chips and a deck of extra cards were placed on the table.

Second Step: Each player has to decide a card from their hands that he/she wants to put on the board. For example, if a player wants to put the "hearts of 4" on the board and a player has red poker chip then he/she has to place  the poker chip on the board and the card in front of the board. After that the player has to pick another card from the deck of cards, so the player has again 3 cards in the hands. This is the simple procedure of playing this game.

Final Step: We have less amount of time therefore, we all have decided to go with the rule of whichever team will first place the 5 poker chips in a row horizontally/vertically/diagonally on the board will win the game. Above  image represents that red team has placed the five poker chips, both horizontally and diagonally on the board. Also, here is the detailed link of the rules of the game can be found on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_(game).

One thing that I have learned through this session that it is better to read the instructions manual though they are not found that much interesting, but they always help us to know more about the game-play.
