They really enjoy this game. Even children too young to understand the strategy of the game can sit on a parent's lap and place the chips on the board. We purchased the deluxe version which comes with a mat game board that can be rolled up. There is also a jumbo version with a really large mat. Smaller groups play as individuals.
Larger groups play as teams.
The game board has pictures of two sets of cards, except the jacks, laid out in a grid of ten rows and ten columns. The basic idea of the game is to get the listed number of sequences, a run of five cards in a row running up, down, across or diagonally. At the beginning of the game, cards are dealt to each player. On your turn you play one of your cards placing a chip on one of the two corresponding pictures on the game board. Jacks are wild and can be used to remove an opponents chip or place one of your own chips on any spot on the board.
