LOL@Connect 4….yeah i had a version back in the eighties…Brilliant game……as i got older i started using the discs for Poker chips though….LOL…only between my brother and i and some friends…..and that other classic…Pontoon where one had to get 21……
While i don’t gamble or bet with money i must admit that innocently playing cards teaches one some thing…..not only about one’s self but about other people and life in general..
I often did that with Travel Chess Sarah but as you say……it becomes a bit strange when you beat your self or let your self win…..or offer stale mate…lol
The thing is though…Connect 4 was and is still a great game because it’s really a game of positives and negatives……blocking and counter acting……(counter acting) LOL
Connect 4 reminds me some what of Checkers in 3d
Board games were very interesting in that they originally were just intended as family games in my opinion….bit like camping and watching Bulls Eye LMAO
Going back to Connect 4 though…..great when one won a game and pompously said….ok my game…..as pulling the base part out so all the discs fell out…..problem is…i always pulled the base out too early so no one could prove who won any way…LMAO….
