This is the classic counter game for two players, the aim of the game is for those players to compete against each other taking it in turns to try to be the first to connect four counters together. Players take it in turns to use the yellow and red counters and placing them into the grid to form a straight line of four in a row, vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Who ever gets the four in a row wins the game. Each player takes it in turns and needs to think strategically as to where to put there next counter to help them to get four in a row, but to also think about if they need to block their opponent to stop them from winning the game.
The game is simple but is great as it does not require hours to set up and a game can be as quick or as long as you want it to be. There are also not a long list of rules to be able to play this game which makes it a great game.
Connect 4 is a game that is great for children or adults and with its great retail value of under ten pounds this game is worth every penny. You can find it on Amazon for the great price of £7.00.
The only downfall to this game is that it gets a little boring, so you cannot play it for hours on end but I love playing it regularly for short spaces of time.
This is a classic game that will be around for years to come and they even have it in a travel version. This is a game to keep the children amused for hours whilst allowing them to concentrate at the game.

Advantages: A timeless classic, less than a fiver, suitable for all the family (and the kids will usually win!) Disadvantages: The noise of the discs can get on your nerves!
