Growing up, I loved playing Connect 4! I thought it was fun to strategize and figure out how I could beat my opponent by dropping down disks and coming up with a line of 4 horizontally, vertically or diagonally! When I saw the new Connect 4 Launchers game, I thought it was something that would be fun for the girls to play!
Last night, we tried playing Connect 4 Launchers for the first time. Because of the girls’ ages (7 and 3), I wasn’t sure how well they’d play the game together, especially as the game lists recommended player ages as 5+. I quickly figured out a way we could play together and the result was literally hours of fun!
With Connect 4 Launchers, you choose your colour (red or yellow) and then you get a matching checker launcher. The goal of the game is to launch your pieces and the first person who gets 4 in a row wins! Miss Seven wanted to put the board together and was able to do so easily. I showed Little Miss how to hold onto the base of the launcher (so that it wouldn’t move) and how to shoot her pieces. She did an excellent job and also sometimes let me hold the launcher base and move the launcher so that she’d have a better chance of getting the pieces on the board. She was so excited when she even won one game!
The girls had tonnes of fun playing and we played for over an hour! They are already talking about wanting to take the game over to grandma’s house to play as well! I also had a lot of fun with the game and I think it will be a great game to have around the house when the weather gets colder and we want to play inside!
Connect 4 Launchers is a Hasbro game and retails for approximately $19.99.
I just started teaching my 3yo how to play connect 4. I will keep this in mind for Christmas, thanks.
That looks like a blast!
My daughter likes the original. This new one looks cool.
The regular Connect 4 was always a hit. This one looks even better!
Connect 4 is a great game, and this looks like a great version of it!
We love to play Connect 4. I didn’t know there was a new version out, I will be grabbing this for Christmas
This looks hilarious
looks like a really fun game perfect for the holidays
How have I not heard of this until now. Definitely marking this down for Christmas. The boys love regular Connect 4, so I am sure this would be a big hit.
What a great looking game!
my boys are dying to try this
Oh, how fun!
Connect Four is a game that I LOVED as a kid, and I am so glad it is still around. We even have the travel version. Good to know that they have another version out there for us to try!
March 4-What a wonderful game to play inside and for almost ages. I had never heard of it before. Thanks for tellling me about it.-el03ro
