Travel Connect 4 (Phiên bản du lịch)

🧩 Travel Games Series

This model is a new addition to my Travel Games Series.

All games in this series share the same compact format, making them easy to stack, store, and carry. They’re small enough to slip into a backpack and sturdy enough to enjoy on the go.

Thanks to the clever design, you can play these games comfortably in a car, on a train, or even on a plane—and best of all:

no batteries, no charging, no screens. Just play. 😉

🧩 Design & Background

There are many Connect 4 designs available online and on Printables—some even featuring ingenious sorting mechanisms.

This version adapts the classic game to my travel-friendly format and adds a simple auto-sorting feature.
Well… auto-sorting, as long as you insert the game pieces correctly 😉

Each game piece is marked with “Me” on one side.
When inserting a piece, make sure:

• The piece slides freely into its slot

• The “Me” side faces you

After the game, simply lift the frame carefully. The pieces will fall down and automatically sort themselves into the correct compartments.

🎯 Object of the Game

Connect 4 is a classic two-player strategy game. The goal is simple:
be the first player to connect four of your pieces in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Players take turns dropping their pieces into the grid, trying to outsmart and block their opponent.
Quick to learn, fun to master, and perfect for players of all ages.
