How to play: Place the game board on a flat surface. Each player chooses a color of playing pieces. Take turns dropping your pieces into the columns of the vertical grid. The goal is to be the first to get four of your pieces in a row either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Be strategic and think about your moves and your opponent's possible moves. Attention: Keep the game away from small children who might swallow the playing pieces. Do not expose the game to extreme heat or moisture as it may damage the fabric - wrapped book and the game pieces. Maintenance: If the game gets dirty, you can gently wipe the fabric with a soft, damp cloth. Store the game in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
