5.0 out of 5 stars A great game for kids and adults, December 13, 2009

This review is from: Connect 4 (Toy)

I work for an after school program in an elementary school and all of the kids love this game. They get frustrated if they lose too much but that goes without saying. But they learn a lot of strategies while playing, how to set it up so they win from both sides and gradually they learn to actually think of a strategy ahead of time. The Kindergarteners and 1st graders aren't that great but the second through fourth graders get to be pretty good. Our program has over 40 kids and we had to get a second one because it's a favorite among them. It also comes with rules on how to play different versions which I'm not use to so don't do but it can be fun and a new craze is playing butterfly which is when they are allowed to put two pieces in a once. Overall an amazing thinking game and lots of fun, I would def. recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has a new twist on an old game, January 30, 2010

Comes with a new twist--you can pop out your own checker at the bottom, then all the checkers in the column drop down one notch. This adds a new way to win. I ordered this version by mistake, but we ended up keeping it anyway because of this new twist. We enjoy playing it with our other variations of Connect Four.

I bought this game for my 9-year old niece. It was a pleasure to see her put down the handheld DS game and pick up an old-school game and enjoy it equally!
