How To - DIY Backyard Connect Four - Hallmark Channel

Ken Wingard is in the backyard making a perfect DIY game for summertime, a giant Connect Four game. He mentions that the game is good for kids because it incorporates strategy, math and counting skills. The entire game will cost you only $60.

Anybody else catch that the velcro doesn't work very well he had to hold it

[@mikelcampbell6072]

Yea a screw hook and a string would work

Connect 4 is supposed to be 7 across by 6 high. I've seen cheep knock-offs on a 6x6 grid, but this grid is too small for a meaningful 4 in a row game. I would assume that after a few games, most children would find that all theirs games end in a tie and get loose interest. If you're playing 3 in a row, the first player, if making the optimal moves, can be guaranteed a win no latter than their 5th turn no matter what the second player does. At least in Tic Tac Toe two optimal players will always tie. I would argue that a board of this size reduces the complexity of connect 4 to be less than that of Tic Tac Toe.

Interested in doing a video review of Rollors...we'll send you a set to for free.

Gotta give a thumbs down for the bottom using velcro because it obviously doesn't work if you have to hold it... you should have used a screen door hook or several self closing cabinet hinges

[@hannahtryon]

phartattack or heavy duty magnets

[@nicjay29]

Haha. 4 ppl playing and no one knows how to count to 4. Connect 3 anyone?

[@ASMRcandy]

OF COURSE THE GROWN UPS NEW. HOPE THEY DIDN'T TELL THE BOY IN THE END LOL LET HIM FIND OUT BY HIMSELF WHEN HE IS OLDER THAT IT WAS 4 INSTEAD OF 3. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO RUIN IT FOR THE BOY. GROWNUPS ARENT IDIOTS U KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO CONNECTING 4.

[@vickymolina7107]

If you were listening, she says "Oh it's connect four but we can do three if you want". @ 4:11

[@maryhinojosa2636]

KZbin are the best

[@ladwigs]

need detailed instructions

[@UltimateRobot]

Thumbs Down because the game made was 5 x 4 spaces. Should be 7 x 6.

[@bishamoboshimbo6657]

Exactly. Do they have any idea how many draws would come from that board?

[@Gunit-xd1ll]

I feel so dumb after watching this

[@joepummell5512]
