When I was a kid, one of the first family games I played was Connect 4. It is a great starter game for younger kids who are just learning to play with other family members or friends and learning the concept of taking turns.
Connect 4 Launchers is a new take on an old family favorite. The basic concept is still the same: get four in a row of your color. This new game requires a little more skill and a lot more patience – something the younger kids may not have – but older kids (5 and up) should be able to grasp. This game is highly addictive and the best part about it is if you have many players waiting in line to take a turn, each round is over rather quickly. I had my niece (7) and nephew (4) review this game and they had a blast. I found them to be very competitive, but that is their nature to begin with. Every time they are over, they ask to play this game – which means it is a definite Christmas gift this year!
