Each complete row of five (or four and a free corner space) is counted as a sequence. Sequences of the same color may intersect, but only at a single position. Sequence rules dictate no table talk or coaching between team members and a precise order in which hands must be played (card, chip, replace card). [5]
“Invented in the early 1980s, Sequence has become a household name in the board game world,” he says, noting that you really don’t need a ton of materials to play: All you need is the game ...

The rules were first published in 1883 by Dick under the name The Four Seasons which used a 3 x 3 card layout, the foundations being the four corners. [4] In 1898, Mary Whitmore Jones published essentially the same game under the name Czarina Patience using an 'exploded' layout in which the four corner cards were moved away from the tableau which now assumed the form of a cross of five cards.

An important principle to follow in early play is "corner, side, center." [2] [3] [4] In other words, the corners are the easiest places to take territory, because two sides of the board can be used as boundaries. Once the corners are occupied, the next most valuable points are along the sides, aiming to use the edge as a territorial boundary.
When the "It" player has finished counting, they call out one of the numbers. All players who had chosen that corner or area are out of the game, and they sit down. Then, "It" counts again, and the remaining players move to a different corner, unless the corner is out. The last person to still be in the game wins, and usually becomes the new "It."
Ugolki (Russian: [ʊɡɐɫˈkʲi], Russian: уголки, English: corners) is a two-player board game, similar to halma, that is typically played on an 8×8 grid board with 16 game pieces per player. It is said to have been invented in Europe in the late 18th century. Variations on the size of the board and the number of game pieces also exist.
In the original rules, [2] [1] an alternative opening sequence is described: The game starts with only queens, in opposite corners of the board. Players place their guards, one per turn, on any vacant board cells (except the throne). After all twelve guards have been placed, the game proceeds under normal rules.
