Group Games For Kids
SEQUENCE for Kids -- The 'No Reading Required' Strategy Game by Jax
Group Games For Kids is very nice product. Bought this for grandchildren who are 4-1/2, 6-1/2 and 8-1/2; parents had it on a wish list.
You use playing cards (pictures of animals, a couple of types of wild cards) and a bBoard with a grid of animal pictures. Its play is somewhat like Connect 4, but made more complex because you can only play on the squares for which you have a matching animal card. I thought it was a wonderful game and we adults enjoyed playing it with the kids.
The 6 & 8 year olds loved playing. As someone else stated, it invokes learning to take turns, patterns (creating 4 in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally) and strategy (creating your own sequence while thwarting the other players). 1 game takes about 10-15 minutes.
The info says ages 3 up. I thought it was way too advanced for the extremely smart 4-1/2 year old and just a bit advanced for the 6 year old. I’d recommend making sure the child was confident on Connect 4 before moving to this more complex game.
