Each player chooses a color, red or yellow, and takes turns dropping a disc into any column; discs fall to the lowest available slot. To use a Blocker disc, drop it in to occupy a space or lift and remove an opponent's checker instead of placing a new one. The first player to connect four of their discs in a row, vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a typical game of Connect 4 take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn average game takes about 30 minutes, though quick matches between experienced players can finish in under 10 minutes and longer strategic battles can extend beyond 30 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan younger children play this game with help from an adult?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the rules are simple enough that an adult can teach a child as young as 5 or 6 in just a few minutes, and the two-player format works well for adult-assisted play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this Connect 4 set work with replacement discs from the classic version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, standard Connect 4 replacement discs in red and yellow are compatible with this grid frame, though the blue Blocker discs are unique to the Amazon Exclusive edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I buy extra Blocker discs separately if I lose one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHasbro does not currently sell replacement Blocker discs individually, but the game includes 4 Blocker discs, and most players find that even losing one does not significantly affect gameplay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included in the box when I unbox this game?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box contains the grid frame with built-in slider bar, 21 red discs, 21 yellow discs, 4 blue Blocker discs, and an instruction sheet.
