Toys and Games Reviews of Connect Four
Customer Review: A Good Classic Game
Summary: 5 Stars
My mother loved to play Connect Four with her grandchildren. It was a way for her to teach them from a young age to count four items; to sort two colors; to learn to look horizontally, vertically, and diagonally; and to win and lose politely. After she lost her ability to think fast and move her hands with dexterity, we could stimulate her by playing a game. We always had a good time with Connect Four.
The game is amusing enough to entertain an adult while giving children a quick little fun time. This game has been around a long time, and it continues to be one of the best. I wish that the grid support were stronger. I watched my mother wear out several games.
As long as laughter requires no carbon credits, this game is good green entertainment. It burns no fuel.
Customer Review: More Challenging Than It Appears
Summary: 5 Stars
On first try Connect Four is a rather simple to the point game, but ultimately it depends upon your opponent. I know for a fact we used to have Connect Four-a-thon's that would last all night long. You are sitting there trying to outwit your opponent and make them fall into a trap and they are trying to do the same thing to you. When it really gets going it's quite engaging. I think that is this games greatest strength, it forces you to think on the fly.Durability-wise for a plastic toy it holds up really well. There have been some Connect Four games that people have had for 10 or 15 years. I think this will be one of the few things still surviving 5,000 years from now along with the cockroaches.
This is a simple toy in some respects yes, but still one of my favorites after all these years.
Customer Review: A tic-tac-toe classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember when me and my grandfather used to play tic-tac-toe all the time when I used to spend the night over there. I was a kid, so when I got Connect Four for Christmas, it became my favorite game for a long time. It's fun for anybody to play no matter how old they are, but it's best for kids who like playing tic-tac-toe. It's a little different from tic-tac-toe, however. You have to get four in a row instead of just three, and you have five columns with five spaces each. Connect Four can teach kids some strategy and teach them to be more observant while they're playing the game. I recommend anybody who has a kid around to get Connect Four. The only drawbacks are that it's easy to lose some of the pieces and the two sides of the Connect Four game can break off easily.
Customer Review: love it
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my 5 year old nephew. I loved this toy as a child and thought this would be something fun for my nephew to play with. He is also just learning checkers and chess. While he hasn't gotten all the strategy down (plan ahead, think about what your competitior will do next) but it was very fun to play for him, and he seemed to be understanding the need to look at the entire board before you play.
I played like I would with anyone (although stopped him some times to think about his moves) but in about 25 games he really won on his own 5 games. Kept us occuppied for hours, and now is playing with his parents.
I played this all the time with my sisters and always enjoyed it.
Customer Review: Four In A Row
Summary: 4 Stars
There are often times that the classics times we had and we still have with our parents never goes away. That is also said with some of the most classic board games like Connect Four. The game is fun and filled with skill. The object of the game is very simple, you have to try to make four in a row across, vertically, or in a diagnally row. The game is fun and challenging for all ages. Although many people might think that this ios a baby game, where there are more challenging games out there, but it still is a lot of fun to play, and I still love playing this game. It is a great buy.
