SeQuel is the game where money is power. The object of SeQuel is to win power for your side: Champions who play to help bring an Alien to Earth and open us to new worlds of opportunity, or Guardians who play to power a shield that keeps us safe from advanced alien civilizations. Play to win numbered notes called Quantum Marks, that have codes used to generate power. Longer sequences create more power. The object is to create the most power by building the longest sequence. Your ultimate goal is to create the maximum power sequence, a Quay (pronounced key) made from all 118Q. To begin play Deal 5Q to each player. The first player who can make a start sequence leads the play. The start sequence is a series of 2 or more Q created from Q received in the deal, or by using Q from draw deck. The longest or highest sequence wins the chance to lead. Players play their Q on table in clockwise order. The Leader calls the play by choosing a game (Dots, Age, Number or Name) and if high or low values win. At the start of your turn you draw 1Q, look for interception sequences, and use special forces to change the play in your favor. After playing your Q you draw again so that you end the round with 5Q. It will take several games to build a Quay. —description from the publisher
