Garden games: the ones worth buying

The pint-sized version of this game brings back memories of wet-playtimes but Hasbro has produced a giant edition standing at a massive 1.1m, which is ideal for the garden. For the uninitiated Connect Four is a classic game of strategy with players taking it in turn to drop counters into the frame to try and form a line of four, while blocking their opponent. It's like an over-sized version as noughts and crosses on steroids! Available from www.gardengames.co.uk at a cost of £169.99.
