I love this game! It's the same concept as Connect 4: each player has a different color tiles (yellow or white.) Here, though, tiles are printed with a number 1, 2 or 3. Tiles with 3 can only go in specially marked spots. Try to get your tiles in a row to add up to 7 -- horizontal, vertical or diagonal. My kids, bright 5 and 6 year olds, were getting bored with Connect 4 but love this game. It's challenging for them, and holds their interest. Plus, it improves upon the structural design of Connect 4: Make 7 includes a trough below the playing board where tiles fall when ejected -- so they don't tumble all over the coffee table. I gave this game 4 stars on durability because the "specially marked" spots for the 3 tiles are marked by a sticker outline, which looks like it may not last. It should have been molded, colored plastic, instead of a customer-added sticker. But it's a small issue -- still a great game!
