Score Four

Score Four is a "three dimensional" abstract strategy game, similar to Connect Four (Milton Bradley, 1974). It was first sold under the name "Score Four" by Funtastic in 1968. Lakeside issued 4 different versions in the 1970s. Later Hasbro sold the game as "Connect Four Advanced" in the UK.

A selfmade Score Four game

The object of Score Four is to position four beads of the same color in a straight line on any level or any angle.[1] As in Tic Tac Toe, Score Four strategy centers around forcing a win by making multiple threats simultaneously, while preventing the opponent from doing so.

Endgame in Score Four. Black to move. Game will end with a win for him due to Zugzwang.

Tic Stac Toe

The game has also been introduced as "Tic Stac Toe", but with the introduction of a blocker piece for each side. In the game of Tic Stac Toe, on a player's turn, he or she may place a blocker piece to defend a threat of the opponent, before placing one of his or her own pieces. The blocker piece is of neutral color and cannot complete a winning line.
