Hasbro Connect 4 Launcher - Review & Reader Giveaway

Many of us grew up playing Connect 4.  It's a classic toy taking the very basic and age-old of tic-tac-toe one step further.  But now Hasbro has advanced Connect 4 into the new millenium and introduced Connect 4 Launchers.

Your object is still to get four-in-a-row, but you don't just place your checkers....you LAUNCH them!  Place your checkers on your launcher and blast off.

There are three different ways to play:  In Basic Frantic Launch you just need to be the first to land four-in-a-row.  In Championship Frantic Launch you try to flip to five points first.  For a real challenge, there is Advanced Power Launch where you both have power checkers and you can try to knock your opponents off the board.

The game is designed for ages 5 and up, but even younger kids can still have fun launching the checkers, even if they don't grasp the full concept! With different levels of game play it's a game the whole family can enjoy and it can "grow" with your kids as they advance in skill.

Reader Giveaway: One Lucky Thrifty Jinxy reader will win their own Connect 4 Launchers. To enter, just fill out the entry form below.  This giveaway ends in 48 hours, so hurry!
