Quick verdict
Connections (It’s a mind game) is a strategy board game which is both simple and still manages to be fun. I would equate it to the classic, and much loved, Connect Four; both are easily understood, short, and involve strategical planning.
The game and gameplay
I recommend Connections to be played with friends or family to liven up a room, or if you have a few minutes to kill before something else.
This game has been a staple with my family since we first got it.
There’s a problem though, I tried to find this board game through Google, but couldn’t. There were different games with the same name, but I couldn’t find this particular version.
As far as I can discern from the box, this version of Connections was made in New Zealand, and didn’t seem to have been produced beyond there.
If someone is still making this, I highly recommend you buy it. It’s incredibly fun for such a simple game.
Editor’s note: This game is out of print, but was manufactured in Europe. We recommend searching for a copy at rummage sales or on eBay.
