"There aren't many LEGO sets designed to played with once they're built. A lot of them are envisioned as show-pieces, and yes, you can do imaginary play with them like you would holding a LEGO Millennium Falcon and whooshing around the house, but this MOC from HH Bricks captures a kind of LEGO playability that's absolutely rare. Inspired by his daughters' love for building and playing with LEGO, HH Bricks designed this playable version of one of the world's most popular tabletop games."
"For those uninitiated, Connect 4 is a simple game where you drop tokens down a vertical slot-board, trying to build a set of 4 tokens in a straight line. Your job is to simply build a straight line without being stopped, while also consistently breaking your opponent's ability to build a solid 4 streak on their own. The game just celebrated 50 years since it was first invented in 1974 (and commercially sold in '75),"
"Although HH Bricks doesn't specify how many pieces come together to build this set, one could venture it's easily in the higher end of the spectrum, just because of how many tiny single or double-stud bricks were used to build the set's flat panels and the 42 tokens that come along with the board. Flat surfaces are fairly complex in LEGO, not because of any visual complexity, but just the fact that they require a lot of bricks to build out."
HH Bricks designed a fully playable LEGO version of Connect 4, capturing the game's mechanics and playability. The model includes 42 LEGO tokens and a vertical slot-board that replicates dropping tokens into columns. Flat panels use many tiny single and double-stud bricks, increasing piece count. Players choose a color and drop tokens to form four in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. A removable bottom tray releases all tokens to reset the game. Connect 4 originated in 1974 and turned 50 years old; the LEGO build mirrors the game's simple rules and strategic tension.
