How it plays
Forget the upright grid. Here you take Connect 4 Tile cards from the draw deck and lay them out to match the shapes on your Mission Cards: four in a row, four in a square, or four in an L. Some cards carry Power-Up symbols that grant extra actions and can upset a rival's plans. Complete four missions before the others and you win.
A deck of cards travels better than a plastic grid, so we suggest this for vacations and waiting rooms. It suits two to four players from age eight and moves quickly enough that losing simply means shuffling up for another round.
