Please read the assembly instructions below

Tired of Connect 4? Then 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

Only 120 grams

The game board is 50% larger – instead of 6x7, it now has 7x9 fields, so 63 instead of 42 fields

Game board and base are now connected and can be opened or closed with one hand

Assembling the tower and base:

1. Place the tower on the base. The groove must point upwards

   

   The rear bolt in the image is already in the groove. Now just push down. Done. Please allow the base to cool completely to achieve full strength

One-handed assembly:

Please check all chutes for jams BEFORE assembly. If so, proceed as follows:

Fill the entire chute with one color of stones plus one stone

Then move the stones back and forth. Repeat with the other color if necessary

Only assemble the tower and base when the stones fall without obstruction

I have added 3 spare parts per color, as you may no longer have the filament color available if you lose a part

Two rods are included to help with jams

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

CyberYeti has given me permission to publish this :)

Note: I am working with NEGATIVE PARTS that are NOT visible in the 3D view :(
