Koch Media and Chinese tech-company GiiKER team up to bring the Smart Four to Europe. The three-dimensional strategy board game that lets players face a real opponent as well as the AI. The GiiKER Smart Four will be available in Europe on November 20th, 2020 at selected stores.
The Smart Four offers a new take on the classic game principle of Connect Four. No matter whether you’re facing off against a human opponent or honing your skills against artificial intelligence: the AI powered three-dimensional connect four game offers non-stop fun. While the rules are simple, the shift from two to three dimensions helps to improve logical and strategic as well as spatial thinking.
The 5x5 functional squares are underlined with lights that give feedback upon interaction, which expands the capabilities of the Smart Four beyond the 3D board game.
Connected with the Smart Four App, users can challenge the adaptive AI or battle other players around the globe online.
Features:
- Strategy: Hundreds of combinations to win.
- AI Referee: The implemented AI signals a victory through light feedback.
