About the game
From Hasbro.com: "Challenge a friend to checker-dropping fun with CONNECT 4! There are three ways to play, so choose your game: Original: Drop in your checkers and be the first to get 4-in-a-row to win. Pop Out: Get 4 in a row by popping a checker out instead of dropping one in! Pop 10: Pop checkers out of the grid. If your checker is part of a 4-in-a-row, you get to keep it. The first player to get 10 checkers wins. When you're done playing, tote your game around with a convenient carrying handle. The checkers store inside the grid so you're ready to play anytime!" Contents: 42 checkers (21 yellow, 21 red) Grid with checker catcher base/handle Instructions
