What is Connect Four
Connect 4 is a well known vertical game played with "checkers" game pieces, although it is more akin to Tic-Tac-Toe or Go Moku.
The board is placed in the stand to hold it vertically and the players drop game pieces into one of the seven slots, each of which holds up to six game pieces, until one player succeeds in getting four in a row, whether horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
The game is non-proprietary. More elegant, wooden versions can be found under the name The Captain's Mistress.

What the community says about Connect Four
Es un juego hipersencillo. Una extensión del tres en raya. Si nadie comete fallos, el juego no tiene solución. Es un pasatiempos de cuando era niño. Para mí, desde luego, no le tendría.
a classic old game, likely to be played with my little son.
I bought a used one on a flea market, now it got an always ready to play companion at the side of our dining table
