PLEASE REVIEW THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Below
Tired of Connect 4? I have just the thing for you.
Connect 5 – Five in a Row – Five Wins
Now you can play Connect 4 AND Connect 5 with just one game
The game board is 50% larger – instead of 6x7, it now has 7x9 squares, meaning 63 squares instead of 42.
The game board and base are now connected and can be opened or closed with one hand.
Assembling the tower and base:
Place the tower onto the base. The groove must face upwards.

The rear pin in the image is already in the groove. Now simply press down. Done. Please allow the base to cool completely to achieve maximum strength.
One-handed assembly:

Before assembly, please check all chutes for any jams. If so, please do the following:
Fill the entire chute with one color of stones plus one additional stone.

Then move the stones back and forth. Repeat with the other color if necessary.
Only assemble the tower and base once the stones fall without obstruction.

I have added 3 spare parts per color, as you may no longer have the filament color if you lose a part.
Although it is only 20% smaller, approximately 40% of filament is saved.
(380g instead of 636g)
Two rods are included, which can assist with jams.
It is advisable to carefully deburr the inner chutes with a pipe cleaner or similar!

Note: I designed this Connect 5 version based on CyberYeti's excellent model, with a new base and a connection between the tower and base.
