Sequence
The game board is 10 by 10 with the rows showing the playing cards face-up. There are no Jacks on the board because they are Wild Cards. The game is a cross between rummy, canasta, and poker.
There are 3 different color poker chips so there can be 2 or 3 teams.
1. Each player is dealt 5 cards.
2. On their turn they place a chip on the board corresponding to a card in their hand. They lay the card down and immediately take another card from the pile..
3. If a player does not take a new card he then plays with fewer cards.
4. A sequence is five chips in a row.
5. Jacks either remove a chip from the board or can be used to place a chip on an open card. The four corner squares are free.
6. The number of teams determines the number of sequences needed to win the game.
