Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Grab Game Travel Size with Enhanced Connectivity by Jerry Leon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The chip holder allows the chips to slide out. It's great for fine motor skills though.

Our son was introduced to Connect 4 while working with his newest speech therapist who was a gentle sweet patient person we will definitely miss each week and I will probably think of her every time I'm looking at this thing. I bought this to continue working with our son on alternation, which was an area she was also targeting, and to further some of his fine motor goals (I bought this knowing the chips would be smaller than a conventional 4 connection). At this point, in terms of development, he may not be interested in the actual game component. So if we play with him at this point, we're just pocketing one chip at a time. So the chips are about half an inch in size. In diameter. So you are small. And he amazed me by putting them on with no problem the first time. So I thought...well, maybe we don't need it for a small engine after all. Until we got to the point where I loaded them into chip holders/dispensers. Getting them out of there is definitely a fine motor issue for him, to the point where he actually shook his head every time I asked him to try and get one out. Speaking of chip holders. , I want to draw your attention to the photo I took. My only criticism of this product is that there is no guarantee that the shavings won't slip out. I think this product would be greatly improved if it had a sliding lid on that end. Because storing this product upside down will create a lot of stress, which can break the top of the game, and this is the only way to reduce the risk of chips falling out. Box storage takes up more space and they can still slip out when sliding across the box. And let's say you're buying this for travel, you probably don't want to take the box with you as it more than doubles the space in your luggage etc. So that's exactly what it's about. Otherwise, as other reviewers have pointed out, it's definitely a lot less than a regular game that I love, love a lot because it's exactly what I need and all the components are working right now.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Compatibility
