Dear People Playing Connect Four And Very Loudly Screaming Things Like "In Your FACE!" Every Time They Won A Game At The Zombie Hut On Smith Street Last Night:
My friends (wisely) held me back from saying anything at the time, but, um, you do know that the person who goes first in the very middle can always force a win, right? If you didn't already suspect something was up when you were, like, 8, it's right there on Wikipedia.
(I suggest Yahtzee! for future bar-screaming sessions, because, bonus: yelling is actually part of the game!)
(Tough) Love,
The Fun-Ruiner
Connect Four (or Moron Checkers) wasn't even fun before I knew that trick. It's no Battleship, I'll tell you that much.
I'm still wondering if I can find enough nerds to play that German game Settlers of Catan. It had a write-up in the Atlantic, you guys! It's about trading natural resources and building settlements! You get two die!
Anyone? Anyone?

Connect four - classic game ! When i was kid i was a bit addicted to the game. Now there are lots of similar video games , but its not the same. Much more fun playing with the chips..
