AS a child i used to play the ordinary connect four. as all kids do..... we enjoyed it... This larger version obviously slightly more expensive is a huge hit in the garden in summer with kids and adults alike. The set up is exactly the same as connect four the normal version. And just as easy to set up and start playing. We bought this a year a go and although we rarley use it indoors. simply too big. we have it out in the garden everytime we have friends over. old or young this is definatley a simle game to be enjoyed by everyone. Online you can get some excellent deals for this game. In saying it is easy to set up it needs to be stored away in a reasonable place. it cant be just thrown in the garage as it will break. Hours of fun to be had by a very simply game. A must for the summers
