Connect 4

An absorbing and challenging game of vertical strategy that’s easy to learn and fun to play. Rules are simple with five ways to play - each player tries to build a row of four playing pieces in the frame - horizontally, vertically, or diagonally - while trying to prevent his or her opponent from doing the same. For added fun, once the unit is full, players can take turns to poke out their own checkers from the bottom row. If a player pokes out a checker that was part of their own connect four, they get to keep the piece. Base catches checkers when they drop. For easy portability, the checkers are locked in the grid and the base is used as a handle.
