Connect Four
Verdict
Vertical grid: 7 columns × 6 rows — 42 slots.; 42 discs: 21 in each of two colours.; A release mechanism at the base to empty the grid between games.
Why people argue about this
People often assume that Connect Four's 42 slots are for both players' discs combined, leading to misunderstandings about how many of each color disc is provided. Actually, the official count specifies 21 discs per player, not a total of 42 for both sides.
