Need a quick and dependable gift for a kid in your life? Look no further than the classic game of Connect 4. With a sale price of only $5, you can’t go wrong picking up one (or two!) of these to have on hand for the holidays. Players have the choice of enjoying the game in three different ways: as traditional Connect 4 gameplay, in a “free-for-all” Connect 4 Frenzy variation or using the pop-out feature. “Our family loves this game — from three-year-olds to senior adults,” noted one reviewer, while another added that there seems to have been an “improvement” to the bottom piece to prevent accidental drops from wayward game pieces.
