A dangerous home-wrecker

  
Avoid this game!
"Connect 4" will become an obsession.  It will occupy way, too much of your time!  It will destroy the otherwise peaceful aura of your home.   It will cause frayed tempers, loss of self esteem, and vindictive name-calling.
The box proclaims that it's designed for ages 6+.  Don't let that fool you!  If it causes 70 year olds such distress, just think of the harm it could do to a child!
(You do realize I'm kidding, right?  We were introduced to it by Steve's family, when we were in Sacramento for Christmas.  We soon became addicted, and decided to buy one on the way home.   Now, almost every day, Dar announces she intends to "kick my butt" in another round with this monster.) 
The key to winning is to think defense first, then plot your offense...  Problem is:  Neither she, or I, intend to quit when we're losing.  Ergo...we go on...and on...into the wee hours...  Fun?...or brain-strain?

  1. Ha! So funny! We are under the spell of Phase 10 Twist! It's currently our favorite game! Another game we love is Yatzee! ( I love it mostly because I almost always win!!)
