Connect Four By Mrsboz By mrsboz on Dec 14, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

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.
