Cover Up

Four-in-a-row game with depth.

CoverUp is a four-in-a-row game with depth. There are three levels to each depth and three different size disks for each player (3 large - top level, 4 medium - middle level, 5 small - bottom level). Because of the depth you can cover an opponents disc with yours to claim their space. All the pieces store under a sliding door on the bottom of the game board. 

Object:

Be the first player with four of your color disks in a row.

Set Up:

Place the game board between the 2 players. Give one player 12 maroon disks and the other player 12 gray disks.

Play:

The first player places one of his disks into any disk space except the spaces in the center well. The next player places a disk anywhere on the game board. Play continues to alternate until one player has four discs in a row - horizontal, diagonal or vertical.

A play consists of:

• A player places one of any size disk on the board.
• A player cannot lift up a disk and place one underneath.
• A player may move one of his large disks already on the board to a new space.
• A player may place a disk in the center well on any turn but the first turn of the game.

Try this:

• Save the large disks for strategic moves and blocking your opponent's wins.
• Hold one disk of each size in your hand during your play. Separate the one you want to use in-hand and move to the fingertips for placement. 
• Work on visual discrimination, spatial relations, visual closure, visual memory, figure ground, manual dexterity, logic, strategy, executive functioning skills, process skills, socialization skills, play and leisure exploration and participation
