I adore board games which teach children to think analytically, help developing strategies and as a result increasing their mental abilities. Connect Four is a classic board thinking game which is known that even Captain James Cook played regularly during his long journeys with his officers.

The rule of the game is so simple but winning the game is not. It is like playing tic-tac-toe but with a difference. The first person who can construct a 4 piece checkers line in any direction (vertical, horizontal or diagonal) win the game. You will notice that the game develops the skills to understand patterns and forecast a future winning situation while you cut the winning variants of your opponent. Many games lose their popularity after long plays, but Connect Four not.

It is just addictive, highly recommended strategy board game.
