4.0 out of 5 stars Fun but Flimsy!, July 3, 2007

This review is from: Connect Four Fun On the Run Game (Toy)

We have enjoyed playing Connect Four Fun on the Run, but it's flimsy construction. The collection trays pop off repeatedly. In addition, the columns that store the checkers have lids that snap shut presumably to keep the checkers in place, but they continually pop off as well leaving checkers scattered in the box. The checkers are small, and are easy to lose. Hasbro doesn't offer replacements for the checkers, so you really have to be careful when playing. On the other hand, the price is so reasonable, it's entertaining, and I think instead of buying a duplicate I would buy the travel folio version with zip-up pouch.

Overall, I recommend this toy, but strongly suggest the game be stored in a plastic bag, as it doesn't hold up well to the bumps and bruises of travel with the trays, and lids popping off, and the checkers rolling all over the box.

My two oldest children, ages 7 & 8, played this game last year in their after school program. Santa brought it this year for Christmas....and what fun!! They love to play, and it really challenges them to develop strategic thinking skills. Win or lose, they love to play....best yet, just about every game is quick! So it is not unheard of to play ten games in one sitting. Great fun...and cheap!!!

This is a good game with plenty of re-play value. The travel addition is small and light and helps with long plane trips. I could quibble... the quality of the unit isn't great - it can be hard to get the pieces out after a game and the little pieces are small and hard to handle and can get lost. But why quibble? It's small and light and cheap and FUN.
