This is a new version of the popular Connect 4 in an Altoids tin. Now, you can have Connect 4 AND play Tic Tac Toe. If you have two kids like I do, we are happy to have both options as we travel.

This was inspired by a print I found on Printables by EG3Dprinting. I modified their original Connect 4 design to be able to fit it into the tic-tac-toe board. Those should mesh together, and then drop the height of the stand so that it can close.

All you need to print this is:

1x Board for Connect 4

1x Base for Connect 4

21x Red Chips

21x Black Chips

1x Board for TicTacToe

5x Xs

5x Os

Design Concept

This compact design combines the classic games of Tic Tac Toe and Connect 4, designed specifically to fit inside an Altoids container. It merges portability with fun, making it perfect for travel or quick games on the go.

Purpose

The purpose is to provide a fun and portable way to enjoy two classical games: Tic Tac Toe and Connect 4. This small set is ideal for casual gaming, whether you're on a long journey or just have a couple of minutes to spare.

Printing Suggestions

Ensure that the printer is calibrated for small parts so the delicate features of the pieces print without error. Use layer heights of 0.1-0.2mm for smoother finishes and increase the fill density if more sturdiness is desired.

Assembly Instructions

Once printed, place the Tic Tac Toe board with its grid in one side of the container and the Connect 4 grid standing in the middle, utilizing altoid dividers. The colored pieces go in the other section when not in use. Minimal effort is needed beyond fitting the parts snugly in place.
