# Games like Sequence

> Sequence mixes the luck of the draw with **five-in-a-row strategy**. If that is what you love, start with the Sequence variants you can play free here, then try five other games with the same feel.

## Sequence variants you can play free

- **[Sequence No Jack](https://sequence.stratzagames.com/sequence-no-jack.md)**: no wild jacks, so nothing can be removed and every block is permanent.
- **[Sequence Catch](https://sequence.stratzagames.com/sequence-catch.md)**: three rabbits hide on the board, and only five in a row through a rabbit you hold wins.
- **[Sequence Block](https://sequence.stratzagames.com/sequence-block.md)**: one card rank is walled off each game, so you route around eight blocked spaces.
- **[Daily Challenge](https://sequence.stratzagames.com/daily-challenge.md)**: a new free challenge every weekday, with a leaderboard and coin prizes for the top three.

## Five games like Sequence

### Gomoku

The original five-in-a-row game, played with stones on a Go board. There are no cards, so every move is pure strategy. Good practice for spotting double threats in Sequence.

### Pente

Five in a row with captures: bracket two of your opponent's stones and you remove them, a lot like playing a one-eyed jack. You can also win by making five captures.

### Connect Four

Four in a row on an upright grid where pieces drop to the lowest open slot. Quick, simple and great with kids, and the same habit of blocking before you build.

### Qwirkle

Draw tiles and place them in lines that share a colour or a shape. Like Sequence, your hand decides what you can do, and the board fills up in ways nobody planned.

### Rummikub

A tile game of runs and sets. It shares Sequence's mix of a random draw and careful hand management, and it plays well with families and mixed ages.

## What makes Sequence different

- **Cards drive the board.** Each card matches two spaces, so you always choose between them.
- **Jacks change everything.** Wild placements and chip removals mean no line is ever safe.
- **Teams.** Up to 12 players can play in two or three teams, see [rules by number of players](https://sequence.stratzagames.com/sequence-rules-players.md).
