The player with the lowest card will deal, and the cards are shuffled again. To decide who goes first, one player shuffles the card decks into two stacks. The jokers, if any, are removed from the deck as they are not used in the game. The game board is placed on a flat surface (such as the floor or a table) with enough room to allow for the draw deck, a discard pile and marker chips.
If the player who played first wins and the second player wins in the next turn it’s a tie. With three teams, players of a team must be positioned at every third player around the playing surface.
With two teams, players alternate their physical positions with opponents around the playing surface. If more than three people are playing, they should divide evenly into two or three teams. Sequence can be played with 2 to 12 players.
