What game is this?

[edit]

I was going through some family photo albums and came across this image. My uncle and grandfather are playing a game that I'd always assumed was Connect Four. Upon closer inspection, it's either not that game or not a standard game of it. Connect Four came out four years prior, in 1974, which could be enough time for knock-off or spin-off versions to be developed. Can anyone tell me what game this is?

It's "Triple Up" from the Ideal Toy Company, like in this image. -- zzuuzz (talk) 02:33, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - it's apparently more complicated than Connect Four. Matt Deres (talk) 15:03, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
