We used the strategy of utilizing the corners. We used the free space corners as much as possible so we could get a sequence in only 4 moves lined up. We especially tried to go diagonally from the corners because we found it was not as obvious and could be pretty hard to spot until we have a sequence. Also we tried to use one chip from another sequence to form another sequence. This made it harder to spot also, weakening their defense.
Well me and my partner Eric decided that it would be smart to always look to go to the corners. Also to use the one eyed jack to block the other opponents when they were getting close to a sequence. That would most likely come into play when our opponents had 4 in a row. It taking 5 in a row to make a sequence. We also discovered that you may use one piece of a previous sequence for your remaining second sequenc needed. So, we would look to see if we had any crossing cards in our hand that would help us do so.
Our strategy was to go from the corners as they are basically a free chip. The diagonals going from the corners were especially good because they were very inconspicuous and a lot of the time, almost always, the other team wouldn't see it. Also, after getting one sequence, we would try to use a chip from that existing sequence to get another one. As with the corners, this would be basically a free chip as the other team couldn't take that chip away. One thing that we also tried to do was block the opponent as much as possible. We would place chips that were seemingly far away, but really just a few spaces so they couldn't get the sequence. Unfortunately for us, this method didn't work out because we always got the worst cards out of the deck. They were cards that were on different sides of the game board, contrary to our opponents that got at least 1 jack per game. I guess to utilize our method properly, you need a little luck!
My strategy was to try to use the free corner spot to my advantage so I would only need four cards in a row instead of 5. In the game however the strategy did not provide the same results that I thought it would as I lost a majority of the games, the strategy I should have used was to block my opponents and focus on defense and the sequence would have come with time and my opponents would not have won as much as they did.
My groups strategy was to study the cards, and make moves based on what cards we had. If we had one eyed jacks we would use those to block them every time they got 4 in arrow. If we had two eyed jacks we would wait untill we got 4 in arrow to use them. Also it helps to go to the conners because if you use the conner peice you only have to get 4 in arrow. Sequence is a game that takes lots of strategy, but you also have to have some luck.
Our group's strategy basically was to get as many cards as possible on the corners. Since luck is an essential part of the game, you might not get all the cards you need. Hence, you have to make the best use of every turn. When you place your chips on the corners, you can either go straight up or down or diagonally towards center of the board. When you have as many as chips heading towards center, you can develop possible options for a sequence from the center because you have the most options to get a sequence since you can go in any directions no matter what. One thing to keep in mind is to block your opponents if they are close to getting a sequence. If you use these strategies, you have a really good chance of winning the game.
My partner and me decided to play the defensive field most the game. Although that strategy was soon fixed when we got extremely good cards to make a sequence. So then our new strategy became "play defense until we get lucky with what cards we draw and then utilize them to win the game." Oddly, that strategy seemed to work everytime once we had it perfected. Wilds/jacks played a key role in deciding ones fate. Without wilds it is almost impossible to get two sequences. So yes, luck and strategy rolled up into one make Sequence one intense mind game!
Christine and I found our strategy to be mostly effective. I think it was effective because one of the key points of our strategy was flexibility. We would play defensively unless we got a really lucky hand. Sequence was a good game, very mentally stimulating.
