My two boys, ages 17 and 19 fight over this toy. Its great for long car rides and in grocery stores with the younger kids. Keeps them entertained and quiet. I love this toy. I even found my husband playing it.

This review is from: Electronic Hand Held Connect Four (Toy)
This is without a doubt one of the most favorite games in our house! Not only do my children love it, but it's very popular among grown-up friends who visit. It's fun and also great for developing strategic thinking. We've bought several as gifts for children and adults and everyone just loves it!

This review is from: Electronic Hand Held Connect Four (Toy)
I know this is mostly going to be purchased as a toy to keep the kids occupied, and as far as that goes I'd recommend it. Connect Four is a good introduction to strategy games, the rules are very simple but the strategy is surprisingly complex.
But the programmers who created this handheld version could have done a lot better. In the world of game theory, Connect Four is known as a "solved game". If both sides play perfectly, it turns out that the first player will always win. This means that there are computer programs out there that (if given the first move) will win regardless of what their opponent does. Granted, playing one of these programs isn't any fun, but that's the gold standard. My point is that even this handheld version of Connect Four should be capable of playing very, very well. But I've played it a few times on its highest level, and it's not even a challenge for me. I beat it every time, whether I move first or second makes no difference. And I *don't* play a perfect game, that's for sure. I'm not saying there shouldn't be beginner levels, but the product would be much better if it was capable of putting up a serious challenge on the higher levels.
