I am not going to explain what Connect Four is, as many others have already done this and it is pretty self-explanatory. What I will do is say that this game is great fun to play while at work and on lunch break. Some people complain that it is not as difficult to play as Chess, but it is that ease of use that allows anyone to want to play to pass free time! Games can be as quick as 3 moves (If you know what I mean) or last a few minutes longer if the other player is good and end in a tie (42 places vs. 9 for Tic Tac Toe). Sure, you can play Chess or Monopoly or whatever you play for its difficulty in up to 30 minutes (most people I know do not set aside a "Game Night"), but you can play 30 games in 30 minutes (lunch break) and compete by showing quick reactions and strategy. Hint: Go for Diagonals, as people seem to have difficulty seeing those. There should be no reason for this game to be rated less than average (3 stars) as it is quick fun and does take some effort to constantly play well.

I always loved this game as a child and now I play it with my kids. It's simple but still a lot of fun!!!

This is the game we pull out when I don't have time to play a longer board game. It seems like my kids want to play a game about the time we only have fifteen to twenty minutes. Something like after homework but close to bed-time. This game fit the bill because it is quick and a lot of fun. You could play it hours and hours if you want, but I like it best for the quick filler activity.
It does teach strategy and forward thinking, it has been fun to watch my children develop these skills. It's not chess, but it also doesn't take as long either.

Love playing with my Grandkids the new style keeps the disks from falling all over the place. I was surprise at the price ($14.99) but thats America. I found the older style at a yard sale or a $1.00 one week later.

I'm 35 years old and fondly remember playing this game with my sisters. I purchased this recently on Amazon so I can recapture glory with my own children. the game is a take on the classic Tic-Tac-Toe game, with the spin being that you need to get four black/red chips in a row. Its fun to watch my children try and think a few steps ahead to ensure they don't get smoked by dad while also trying to set themselves up to win. While not quite chess, this is a great starting game for 5-7 year olds who've outgrown Candyland but aren't quite ready for Boggle. Good in 30 minute increments.
