Launch a checker, then pass the launcher to the next teammate
(who launches a checker immediately). It’s fast and it’s frantic -
so flip and pass quickly.

teams
Launch a checker, then pass the launcher to the next
teammate (who launches a checker on the team’s next turn).
Any teammate can decide if/when to use Power Checkers.
• If a checker misses the trays completely,
it can be launched again on a future turn
(or right away in Game 1 or 2).
• If a player has no checkers left to launch,
the other player still launches the rest of
his or her checkers.
• If an opponent’s checker is in the air when a
player says, “CONNECT 4” and it lands on top
of the 4-in-a-row, keep playing - no one has
won yet! (This could happen in Game 1 or 2.)
• If a checker lands on the tray, but not in a
space, leave it there.
• If a Power Checker (used in Game 3)...
- is in a space: it counts towards 4-in-a-row.
- misses the tray: launch it again on a later turn.
- lands on the tray, but not in a space: the power is canceled
(if it falls in a space later the power does not activate).
- lands in a space: the power must be used on this turn.

The round ends when: one player gets a 4-in-a-row;
OR
both players run out of
checkers to launch.
In Power Launch, majority rules; the player with the most checkers in a space
has control of that space. If both players have an equal number of checkers in a
space, neither player controls the space.
The scoring player slides the scoring marker on his or her launcher up, as
follows:
(Begin each game with the scoring marker on 0.)

Clear the trays; players collect all of their color checkers and start another round.
The player who did not launch first in the last round, starts the next round.
Not a 4-in-a-row;
red doesn’t control this space.
Now red controls the space;
red has 4-in-a-row!
