Remember to think carefully about where you're placing your checkers so you can block your opponent from getting 4 in a row.

Take turns dropping the checkers into the slots, attempting to make a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of 4 checkers of your color. When you’re ready to play, place the board between you and your opponent so you’re each on one side of it. So we identified a certifier [ the Gold Standard] that genuinely accounts for all of the various aspects that make for an effective carbon offset, and it does the best job of creating a system that assures that they actually fulfill those different guidelines. Denby sat down with WIRED to discuss developing a travel series with carbon offsetts, shooting an entire show with iPhone 13 Pros, and flipping the Amazing Race techniques on their head. Some versions of Connect Four, such as the Pop Out Connect Four and Connect Four On the Run travel game, feature a round game base with slots on each side for tabs on the bottom of the grid to snap into.

I think it is very likely in the future that we will, for example, create city-based versions of this that we can sell as merchandise, ones that are still fun and travel-oriented but do not meaningfully add to carbon output. Could you explain to readers your filming setup and how it varies from other reality/game show film crews?

They’re so easy to find, so if we break a device halfway through, the ability to just get a direct replacement within an hour or two is huge. Also, we realized that you can't just show up at a random place with a broadcast film crew, but you can with a YouTube or vloggy-type setup.

We've only ever filmed when rates are relatively low and in the post-vaccine era, and then we go into the normal safety precautions of vaccines, testing prior to departure and on arrival, and masking. There are no specific rules about removing a checker that's been placed accidentally, so you should talk to your opponent. We're only at a quarter-million views, and this has already broken even financially with just that many views and Nebula sponsorships. The traditional set-up features two end supports with slots for hooks on each side of the grid to snap into. Setup your board according to the instructions on the box and distribute the checkers to both players.

If your opponent doesn’t place their checker in the center column with the first move of the game, that should be your initial move when it’s your turn because the space offers the best advantage in the game. You can absolutely be better at traveling than someone else, especially once you throw in all these uncertainties and real-world circumstances. To keep this interview spoiler-free, we won’t dive into the twists and escapades pulled throughout the series (or in the second season), but they’re hilarious and often use logistical or geographical skills I’ve never seen in game shows.During the course of play, you and your opponent will alternate turns after making a move with a checker.
