Product Description
The rules are simple: try to build a row of four checkers while keeping your opponent from doing the same. Sounds easy, but it's not! The vertical strategy creates a unique challenge: you must think in a whole new way to block your opponent's moves! For 2 players. Game includes: grid, two end supports, 21 black checkers and 21 red checkers.
Editorial Review
Connect Four is like vertical tic-tac-toe. Unlike tic-tac-toe, however (as the name suggests), you must get four checkers in a row. One player has red checkers; the other has black checkers. To play, alternate turns at dropping one of checkers down a slot at the top of the upright grid. The first player to get four checkers lined up in a row in any direction--horizontal, vertical, or diagonal--wins the game. --Alison Golder

 My Autistic Son Loves This! All Time Family Favorite! October 23, 2008

0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This game is so much fun for the whole family. Unfortunately it's only a 2 player game, but children learn to share by waiting to play. My autistic son who also has cerebal palsy plays this with perfection! He's managed to beat me more times than I can count! Truly, this will give you a wonderful family experience you'll cherish forever! Plus if the little ones want to play real checkers but can't quite mange it, this is the perfect solution!
Great Time at Lunch! October 8, 2008
Mace Thomas (Orlando, Florida United States)
I am not going to explain what Connect Four is, as many others have already done this and it is pretty self-explanatory. What I will do is say that this game is great fun to play while at work and on lunch break. Some people complain that it is not as difficult to play as Chess, but it is that ease of use that allows anyone to want to play to pass free time! Games can be as quick as 3 moves (If you know what I mean) or last a few minutes longer if the other player is good and end in a tie (42 places vs. 9 for Tic Tac Toe). Sure, you can play Chess or Monopoly or whatever you play for its difficulty in up to 30 minutes (most people I know do not set aside a "Game Night"), but you can play 30 games in 30 minutes (lunch break) and compete by showing quick reactions and strategy. Hint: Go for Diagonals, as people seem to have difficulty seeing those. There should be no reason for this game to be rated less than average (3 stars) as it is quick fun and does take some effort to constantly play well.
A Classic! September 30, 2008

I always loved this game as a child and now I play it with my kids. It's simple but still a lot of fun!!!
 Quick Fun, Easy Clean-Up & a Little Strategy September 28, 2008
James Nichol (West Fargo, ND)
This is the game we pull out when I don't have time to play a longer board game. It seems like my kids want to play a game about the time we only have fifteen to twenty minutes. Something like after homework but close to bed-time. This game fit the bill because it is quick and a lot of fun. You could play it hours and hours if you want, but I like it best for the quick filler activity.
It does teach strategy and forward thinking, it has been fun to watch my children develop these skills. It's not chess, but it also doesn't take as long either.
Great game for playing with Grandkids August 4, 2008
Dick A. Pearson
Love playing with my Grandkids the new style keeps the disks from falling all over the place. I was surprise at the price ($14.99) but thats America. I found the older style at a yard sale or a $1.00 one week later.
