HOW TO PLAY
The youngest player starts.
1.Turn over the top
CONNECT 4 tile of the draw
deck and place it next to any
tile already in play. Tiles must
touch each other on at least
one side.
Try to form CONNECT 4
patterns that match either of
your mission cards.
Example:
2. Did you complete a mission?
YES!
If at any time, you complete
one of your missions, play it
face up in front of you and
draw a new mission card from
the deck. This is your new
mission!
You may complete missions
on anyone’s turn, including
your own.
NO!
Better luck next time.
3. It’s the next player’s turn.
Play passes to the left.
MISSIONS
Four in a row:
horizontal, vertical or
diagonal (in any one
colour: red, green,
purple or yellow)
Four in a square:
(in any one colour:
red, green, purple or
yellow)
POWER UPS
Some CONNECT 4 tiles have
Power Ups. These allow you to
take an extra action on your turn.
This is a blank space, it has
no special power.
Rotate any tile in play, as
long as it is not completely
surrounded
Place this tile on top of any
other tile in play.
Four in an L-shape:
in any orientation
(in any one colour:
red, green, purple or
yellow)
Remove one tile in play. Put
it at the bottom of the draw
deck.
This dot can be any colour
you choose during the game.
OPTIONS
Try these variations:
YOUNGER PLAYERS
OPEN MISSIONS
Play as outlined above, but
without specific mission cards.
Play with your mission cards face
up so everyone can see what
connections everyone else is
trying to make!
Simply complete any four in a
row, square or L-shape on your
turn.
Take a mission card (face down)
when you get a connection. First
to four mission cards wins!
DOUBLE HANDED Pick up two CONNECT 4 tiles
per turn to give you more choice
then discard the unplayed tile.
You still play one tile per turn.

NOTES
• You can use a Power Up to
try and complete a mission,
or stop other players from
making connections!
• You cannot win a mission for
a pattern made on a previous
turn.
• Sometimes you will pick a
CONNECT 4 tile that doesn’t
help complete your missions.
• Blocking other players is just
as important as completing
missions.
• Try to figure out what other
players are planning and block
them.
THE WINNER
The first player to complete
four missions is the winner!
If two players have duplicate
missions then the player who
played the tile wins the game.
