Connect Four

I don't see the big deal with this game.I bought it because I thought that the commercials made it look like a good game.But, I wouldn't recommend it and I certainly wouldn't buy it again.The gist of the game is like checkers.The board layout is a plastic piece thank stands up and then you have to insert checker pieces into it.While I guess the concept of the game sounds like fun I didn't find it that way.You put in your checker and try to get four in a row without someone blocking you.You take turns until someone gets four in a row without interuption from the other player.I find it slow and boring.I also find that the game board is VERY cheaply made.We had only played it a few times before we had to try to tape it up for it to stand on its own.It is a few pieces that you have to assemble your self. When we were little the games held up so much better.This one is ridiculous how cheaply made it is.I wouldn't recommend this game.
