Sequence is an abstract strategy tabletop party game. Sequence was invented by Douglas Reuter. He originally called the game Sequence Five. In 2017, Goliath Game Company bought Jax, and in early 2018 also bought all licensor rights and now owns 100% of the game Sequence.[citation needed] Doug Reuter is acknowledged as the inventor of Sequence on all newly produced copies of the game - both on the box and in the printed rules.
