Hasbro Connect Four — 

I absolutely love this game.  It's so simple to play, and it's a classic.  And around the holidays, you will be able to find Connect 4 DIRT CHEAP!  Just wait it out and it will go on sale for under $ 10.00. 

Never played?  Well, it's easy!  Imagine the game checkers, played upright.  That's kind of it.  Two people play at a time.  One person gets red checkers and the other gets black.  Now, you take turns dropping one checker at a time into the slots.  Whoever gets four in a row first, is the winner.  You can get four in a row by placing them vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.  That's it!  When you have a winner, just slide the lever on the bottom and all the checkers drop out.  Then slide the lever back into position and play again.

This game is fun for all ages.  The box says it's for players age 7+, but my both my sons have  been playing it since they were about five.  It's really a simple concept, but is fun for everyone.  If you have a child that is around this age, and don't know what to buy this holiday, consider Connect 4.  Then challenge him or her to a few games!  That will be the best gift of all.

Yes, very fun game! And if you like this game and card games try Sequence. It's like playing Connect Four and rummy on a board game. I promise I'm going to review it soon ;+)
