Connect 4 (Revised Edition) (2008)

About this game

From Hasbro.com: "Challenge a friend to checker-dropping fun with CONNECT 4! There are three ways to play, so choose your game: Original: Drop in your checkers and be the first to get 4-in-a-row to win. Pop Out: Get 4 in a row by popping a checker out instead of dropping one in! Pop 10: Pop checkers out of the grid. If your checker is part of a 4-in-a-row, you get to keep it. The first player to get 10 checkers wins. When you're done playing, tote your game around with a convenient carrying handle. The checkers store inside the grid so you're ready to play anytime!" Contents: 42 checkers (21 yellow, 21 red) Grid with checker catcher base/handle Instructions

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
