How many of you are writing about the game, Sequence, a game I thoroughly do not enjoy.

I mean, I guess it's better than just chatting with people. I hate not playing a game. That's the worst. But Sequence is a game of no consequence. I think. Am I wrong? I feel like there's no strategy involved. Am I wrong? Someone tell me if it's just so strategically deep that I don't get it.

I know Go is that way. I don't understand the strategy of Go, but I know that it's one of the most, if not the most, strategically deep games ever invented. I don't really know how to play, though. Someone taught me once, and I did NOT catch on. I like chess. It's easy enough for my brain to process chess, and understand where I need to improve my chess skills, and so on. But Go... I just.. enough about Go. This post is about sequence.

Except I don't have a lot to say about Sequence. I really do want someone to tell me if I'm missing something. Also Uno. Is there something I'm missing about Uno? I know that there's something I'm missing about rummy/gin/gin rummy.

One of the things I'm missing is, is there a distinction between the three? There are three different ways I've been taught it, and it's all about picking up cards from the discard. Tell me if that's the distinction, and if so, which is which:

1. You can only pick up the top card of the discard.
2. You can pick up a pile from the discard, but you must immediately use the card that was the deepest of the cards.
3. You can pick up as many cards as you want from the discard, and when you play, you play out your entire hand at once. No. That's wrong. Maybe that's the version that goes with the first one? Ugh. I don't know about this.
