How to play
Connect 4 is a two-player connection board game in which the players first choose a color and then take turns dropping colored discs into a seven-column, six-row vertically suspended grid. The pieces fall straight down, occupying the next available space within the column. The objective of the game is to be the first to form a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of four of one's own discs. Connect 4 is a solved game, with the first player being able to always win by playing the right moves. The game is straightforward yet strategic, as players must anticipate their opponent's moves and counter them effectively to win.

Cross Country Spoon
Play the classic card game Spoons with one twist: the spoons aren't in the middle of the group — they're somewhere else entirely. Place them across the room, up a staircase, or (best of all) outside, with obstacles between the cards and the spoons. Play proceeds as normal: pass cards around the circle until someone collects four of a kind, at which point everyone sprints for a spoon. One player comes back empty-handed and is out — remove a spoon and deal again. The farther and messier the route, the better the game.
