Play Sequence with friends online

Host a private Sequence table, share a room code or invite link, and play the five-in-a-row card board game with people you know — free in the browser on phone or desktop.

What a friends room is

A friends room is a private Sequence lobby. Unlike Play Online matchmaking, nobody random joins your table. Only players with your room code or invite link can sit down. That makes it ideal for family nights, group chats, and rematches with the same people.

How to invite friends

1. Open Sequence and choose Play with Friends.
2. Create a room and copy the room code or invite link.
3. Send it over chat, email, or messages. Friends open the link, or go to sequence.stratzagames.com/join and enter the code.
4. When everyone shows as ready, start the match and race to two Sequences.
5. After the game, stay in the lobby for a rematch without creating a new code.

Sharing the code vs the invite link

• Invite link — easiest for phones. Friends tap once and land in your room.
• Room code — best when someone already has Sequence open. They enter the code on the join screen.
• Either works — both point at the same private table. Share whichever is easier for your group.

Why friends rooms work well

• Private by default — only people with your code can join.
• No download required — play Sequence with friends on phone or desktop browsers.
• Same board, remote seats — great when nobody can sit at one physical table.
• Rematch ready — stay in the lobby and play again after a win.
• Familiar rules — cards, chips, jacks, and two Sequences to win. See how to play Sequence if anyone is new.

Tips for a smooth friends session

• Create the room first, then share the link so nobody waits in an empty lobby.
• Agree who hosts — one player creates the room; everyone else joins.
• If a friend cannot open the link, have them type the room code at /join.
• Keep the lobby open between games so rematches do not need a new invite.
• Teaching a new player? Start with one practice round and point them at the rules guide for jacks and free corners.

Prefer a random opponent?

If your group is offline, use Play Sequence online for quick matchmaking, practice vs AI, try Sequence No Jack, or start a pass-and-play game on one device.
