This document describes the Connect 4 Spin game, a variation of the classic Connect 4 game that introduces a spinning mechanism.

Function Description:

Connect 4 Spin is a two-player strategy game where the objective is to be the first player to connect four of their colored discs in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The unique "Spin" element adds a dynamic and unpredictable twist to the gameplay. After placing a disc, the player must spin the column, which can alter the alignment of existing discs and potentially change the game state for both players. This introduces an element of chance and requires players to adapt their strategies based on the spin's outcome. The game emphasizes strategic disc placement, anticipating opponent moves, and understanding how the spinning mechanism might affect the board.

Usage Features:

Getting Started:

Assembly: Insert the game unit into the base.
Disc Separation: Separate the red and yellow discs. Each player chooses their preferred color.
Challenge Selection: Players decide on the game's difficulty level:
- Beginner: Players aim to line up 4 discs anywhere in the grid. Discs can connect through the center axis.
- Expert: Players must line up 4 discs in either the top or bottom half of the grid. Discs cannot connect through the center axis.

Gameplay - Winning the Spin:

Objective: The first player to connect 4 discs horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins.
Spin Requirement: A win only counts after a spin. If a player connects 4 discs when placing a disc, it doesn't count unless they still line up after spinning.
Single Winner: Only one player can win. If a turn results in both players connecting 4, the player whose turn it is loses. Players must anticipate opponent disc placement before spinning to avoid inadvertently handing them a victory.

Gameplay - Spinning on Your Turn:

Disc Placement: Place a disc anywhere in the grid. Hold the column from the back with one hand while pushing the disc in with the other.
Spinning the Column: After placing a disc, use the tab at the end of that column to spin it.
Spin Requirement: The column must complete at least two full rotations. If it doesn't, the player must re-spin it.
Column Alignment: If the column does not stop in a vertical position after spinning, push down the end closest to the base until it snaps into place.

Weighted Discs:

Each color set includes one disc with extra weight.
Players can use their weighted disc at any time.
Strategic placement of weighted discs is crucial, as their combined weight will affect where the column ends up after a spin, potentially influencing the outcome of the game.

Maintenance Features:

Disc Storage & Removal:

When finished playing, discs can be stored in the troughs located on either side of the game base.
To remove the discs from storage, they can be rolled out as shown in the diagram.

The game's design, including the spinning mechanism and weighted discs, ensures a dynamic and engaging experience that combines strategy with an element of chance, making each game unique.
