Standard Size Four in a Row

This compact board game punches well above its weight, both in terms of entertainment value and how surprisingly sturdy it is — most of the time. A favourite among families looking to keep children engaged without resorting to screen time, it offers a refreshing blend of tactical thinking, portability, and chaos-proof design… to a point. Let’s be clear: this isn’t just another plastic-fantastic toy designed to occupy children for ten minutes before being relegated to the bottom of a toy chest. It’s garnered praise from parents and grandparents alike, especially those on the lookout for something that encourages cognitive development while still being, crucially, fun. One reviewer noted their grandchild “couldn’t get enough of it,” which is either a testament to the game’s replayability or a subtle warning that you may never get the dining table back to yourself again. The build quality, while not quite indestructible, holds its own admirably under the enthusiastic assault of small hands. It's been described as “robust enough for kids,” which, coming from seasoned caretakers of miniature hurricanes, is high praise indeed. That said, there have been the occasional murmurings of missing counters — likely victims of either overzealous gameplay or the mysterious under-sofa dimension where all lost game pieces and TV remotes seem to gather. Where the design truly shines is in its portability. The game is small enough to be chucked into a backpack or glove compartment without requiring a team of pack mules, making it ideal for family holidays, visits to grandparents, or frankly any situation where the phrase “Are we nearly there yet?” becomes a threat to one’s sanity. However, the size is something of a divisive issue. While some celebrate its travel-friendly dimensions, others lament its rather diminutive scale — perhaps expecting something more boardroom than pocket-sized. One suspects those less impressed may have underestimated the concept of “portable.” The gameplay itself strikes a fine balance between simplicity and strategic depth. Young players can grasp the rules quickly, making it accessible to even the most attention-deficient of participants, but there's enough tactical nuance to keep older children (and quietly competitive adults) thoroughly engaged. One parent remarked that it encouraged their child to “think ahead,” a miraculous development many would argue is worth the purchase price alone. Speaking of cost, the general consensus is that it represents very good value for money. It doesn’t come with bells, whistles or unnecessary digital add-ons — just a solid, well-made game that does exactly what it sets out to do. In an age of overpriced gadgets and subscription-based distractions, there’s something oddly satisfying about a modestly priced toy that delivers actual fun without needing a firmware update. In short, this board game is a smart little number. It won’t change your life, but it might buy you half an hour of peace and spark a few smiles (and mild rivalries) along the way. Just keep an eye on those counters — they’re more elusive than you’d expect.

My granddaughter is only 8 and she loves her 2 board games and they are easy for her to learn.

Really happy for this product, good quality, good size, can be carried along with. Overall good quality

Perfect size game, easy to assemble, sturdy, value for money. Happy with my purchase

Great game to play Grandson loved it and good size and easy to store all the discs and spare ones as well.

This is very misleading information the picture and description says ‘ large’ which I would think people would think it’s bigger than the average size (it’s a average game £5 elsewhere) £11 and that’s with a discount

Great cheap alternative to you know what. Decent quality, my toddler son loves it

Its easily portable and reasonably strong too

Un juego que me trae gratos recuerdos de mi infancia y que quería enseñarles a mis hijos. Me he quedado gratamente sorprendido porque venía con 6 piezas extra, así que si se pierde alguna, el juego sigue plenamente funcional. Lo compré en tamaño grande, porque las piezas ya tienen un tamaño suficiente para que un niño pequeño no se pueda atragantar con ellas (diámetro 32 mm y grosor 6 mm). La "parrilla" está sujeta a un eje para ponerlo en vertical para jugar y en horizontal para guardarlo sin que las piezas puedan salirse. Una idea brillante. Además, las piezas caen dentro de la bandeja, sin desparramarse por la mesa: 50 años de evolución tenían que notarse. Jeje.

I purchased this for my4 year old grandson for Easter. We used to play it when his father was a boy. I like the small size as it easily fits into a handbag for travel. We used to play it at restaurants while waiting for a meal. Much better than phones. His mother had never played but now the three of them are all hooked! It is such a fun strategy game. They are contemplating buying a larger version for playing at home. I highly recommend this travel version of connect four.

Jättebra.

Das Pup Go „4 in einer Reihe“ im Großformat macht richtig Spaß und ist super verarbeitet. Die Spielregeln sind einfach, sodass auch kleinere Kinder schnell mitspielen können. Gleichzeitig braucht man aber auch etwas Strategie, wodurch es für Erwachsene ebenfalls unterhaltsam bleibt. Besonders praktisch finde ich das große Format und die stabile Verarbeitung – perfekt für gemeinsame Spieleabende oder auch unterwegs. Die Spielsteine lassen sich leicht einsetzen und das Spiel ist schnell aufgebaut. Preis-Leistung absolut top – klare Kaufempfehlung für Familien und alle, die klassische Brettspiele mögen! 🎲
