Connect 4 Flip (2000) by Hasbro - Abstract Strategy Vintage Board Game Review - Connect Four 

Thanks. 😃

It definietly is interesting and puts a whole new "twist" on an old classic.

That's exactly what I thought initially as well. I would appear that there isn't a Connect 4 that plays like that, but I think the idea would make for an interesting game.

Agreed - I though they'd slide down too initially. Would definitely be interesting to see how that plays.

That one looks interesting too, but I've never come across it to play.

My favorite Connect 4 is Connect 4 because you Connect 4 in Connect 4. King me.

Definitely a bit different.

@@AtticRaidersRetroReviews yep

Indeed, I saw that while I was researching. I would doubt that this version has been solved by computers yet (mainly becasue I don't think anyone has bothered trying) but I'd imagine that it could be.

It looks interesting, but not got my hands on a copy yet.

What did Hasbro do?

I didn't realise that this was a European only release, but it would probably explain the dearth of videos covering it on RU-vid (I'm fairly sure this is the only one on here at the moment). I've not played Connect 4x4 - it looks a little like a more-complicated-to-look-at version of Score 4 or Connect 4 Advanced?

@@AtticRaidersRetroReviews I wouldnʼt say Connect 4×4 is especially like Score Four/​Connect 4 Advanced. The _4×4_ bit is a misnomer - _2×4_ would be closer to the truth - and so the name may be feeding a misperception. The 4×4 game board is laid out exactly like a typical Connect Four board except that itʼs actually two such boards layered together. When you drop a checker in, you drop it on one side or the other, and so itʼs possible for two different players to each have a single checker together in what would constitute a single space in a standard Connect Four board. Your four‐in‐a‐row can use checkers from _both_ sides, and so I imagine a two‐player session would be fairly cutthroat. With three or four players, it simply gets crazy! In 4×4 each player also has two “blocker” pieces; a blocker occupies both sides simultaneously, not only giving the player exclusive control of the same space in two layers but also blocking all players from filling any empty spaces which might be below the blocker on one of the two sides. By the way, I did get a _turn_ at Connect 4 Spin recently, at the same one‐on‐one session where I finally got Berzerk to the table. That was a cutthroat game, too!
