Hasbro readies Connect 4 Frenzy

Hasbro is bolstering its Connect 4 brand with the addition of Connect 4 Frenzy.
This latest twist on the classic game sees everyone play at once. Instead of dropping discs, players go for four in a row by bouncing them off the table and into spots on the horizontal grid. If a team’s disc lands in an opponent’s spot, they get to steal it.
Connect 4 Frenzy plays in 10 minutes and lands in August.
