CONNECT 4 CARD GAME
INTRODUCTION OF CONNECT 4 CARD GAME
The Connect 4 Card Game is a brand-new twist on the classic game of four in a row. Instead of using a game board, it’s played with cards. What makes this version even more exciting is that each player is given secret missions to complete. On top of that, there are special action cards that add a strategic element to the game. The instruction manual provides various ways to play, keeping the fun fresh and engaging.
MATERIALS
In the Connect 4 Card Game, there are three different types of missions to complete. The first type is to create a square by forming a row of four tokens of the same color. The second mission is to create an L shape with four same-colored tokens. Finally, the third mission is to build a row of four same-colored tokens in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line. It’s up to you to strategize and complete these missions to emerge victorious!
Let me tell you about these interesting tiles that have different colored tokens.
Here’s the deal: some tiles in the game have power-ups on them. And let me tell you, playing a card with a power-up is pretty awesome because it means you get to take an extra action. Oh yeah!
Now, let’s talk about these power-ups. There are a few different ones you might come across. First, there’s the circular arrow. When you play a card with this power-up, you can rotate any tile you want. Pretty cool, huh? But there’s a catch: you can only do this if the tile isn’t surrounded by other tiles. So, keep that in mind!
Next up, we’ve got the plus sign. This power-up allows you to place a tile on top of another tile. It’s like stacking them up and creating a whole new world on the game board. How neat is that?
Now, let’s talk about the minus sign. This power-up is all about removing a tile from play. Maybe you want to clear some space or get rid of a tile that’s giving you trouble. Well, with the minus sign power-up, you can do just that. Say goodbye to that pesky tile!
And last but definitely not least, we have the wild power-up. This one is special because it can be any color you need. Need a red tile to complete a set? No problem! The wild power-up has got your back. It’s like having a secret weapon in your pocket.
But there’s one more thing I need to mention. There are also grey tokens in the game. These tokens don’t count as a color or a power-up. They’re just there, hanging out, doing their own thing. Don’t let them confuse you!
So, that’s the lowdown on power-ups in the game. They can really amp up your gameplay and give you an edge. Keep an eye out for them and make the most of them when you can. Happy gaming!
SETUP
Hey there! Let’s talk about a cool thing called HTML markup. It may sound complicated, but I promise I’ll break it down for you. So, HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It’s the language that we use to create websites, like the one you’re on right now!
HTML is made up of tags, which are like little instructions that tell the web browser what to do. You can think of tags like building blocks. With these tags, we can structure the content on a webpage and make it look a certain way.
Now, let’s take a closer look at some common HTML tags and see what they do.
BODY
When someone says “body” in the context of HTML, they’re not talking about the physical body. They’re referring to the part of the webpage that contains all the content. It’s like the main container that holds everything together.
Imagine you’re building a house. The body tag would be the foundation of the house. Without it, the house wouldn’t exist!
To use the body tag, you simply surround all your content with opening and closing body tags, like this:
‘<body> Your content goes here </body>’.
HEAD
Now, let’s move on to the head tag. The head tag is also an important part of an HTML document, but it’s not visible on the webpage. Instead, it contains information that helps the browser understand the page.
Think of the head tag as the brain of the webpage. It contains instructions and metadata that tell the browser things like the title of the page, the character encoding, and even instructions for search engines.
To use the head tag, you place it at the beginning of your HTML document, between the opening and closing HTML tags. Here’s an example:
‘<head> Your instructions and metadata go here </head>’.
P
Next up, we have the p tag. The p stands for paragraph. As you can probably guess, the p tag is used to create paragraphs of text on a webpage.
Paragraphs are important because they help organize and separate different ideas or chunks of text. Without paragraphs, a webpage would just be one big block of text, and that wouldn’t be very user-friendly.
Using the p tag is simple. You just wrap your text with opening and closing p tags, like this:
‘<p> Your text goes here </p>’.
H1-H6
Lastly, let’s talk about heading tags. The heading tags, h1 to h6, are used to create headings and subheadings on a webpage.
Headings are important because they help structure the content and make it easier for readers to navigate through a page. They also give visual cues about what the page is all about.
Heading tags are used hierarchically, with h1 being the highest level heading and h6 being the lowest level subheading. Here’s an example of how you can use heading tags:
‘<h1> Your main heading goes here </h1>’.
‘<h2> Your subheading goes here </h2>’.
‘<h3> Another subheading goes here </h3>’.
And that’s it! You now have a good understanding of some key HTML tags. Remember, HTML is like a language that allows us to create amazing websites. With these tags, you can structure your content, create paragraphs, and add headings to make your webpage look awesome! So keep on learning and have fun with HTML!
To start the game, we’ll need to shuffle the deck of Mission Cards and deal two cards to each player. Keep these cards face down and secret. The remaining Mission Cards will be placed face down to create a draw pile.
Next, let’s shuffle the Connect 4 tile cards and place them face down to create another draw pile. Take the top tile from the deck and flip it over, placing it in the center of the table. This tile will serve as the starting tile for the game.
Let’s Begin!
It’s Your Turn
Starting with the youngest player at the table, it’s time to take your turn! Draw a card from the Connect 4 tile pile. Take the tile you’ve drawn and place it next to any tile that is already in play. It’s important to remember that the tiles must be placed adjacent to each other, with at least one edge touching.
If the tile I play has a power-up on it, I can choose whether or not I want to use the power-up. If I don’t want to use it, I don’t have to.
CHECKING OFF A TASK
Once I finish one of my tasks, I turn the task card over so that everyone can see it. Then, I draw a new task from the pile.
When I’m playing a game, I know that the fun never stops. All I have to do is keep going until the end of the game, and the excitement just keeps building. It’s like a roller coaster, with each turn and twist bringing something new.
WINNING
I can feel the anticipation building as I try to complete four missions. It’s a challenge, but I know that if I stay focused and keep pushing forward, I can be the winner. Victory is within my grasp, and I can taste the sweetness of success.
