3. Setup

1. Assemble the Game Grid: Attach the two blue legs securely to the bottom of the red game grid. Ensure they click into place for stability. Insert the blue slider bar into the slot at the bottom of the grid.
2. Apply Character Labels: Carefully peel the character labels from the provided sheet and apply them to both sides of the red and black discs. The red discs feature Peter Parker's Spider-Man mask, and the black discs feature Miles Morales' Spider-Man mask.

4. Operating (How to Play)

1. Starting the Game: Players decide who goes first.
2. Dropping Discs: On your turn, take one of your discs and drop it into any of the seven slots at the top of the game grid. The disc will fall to the lowest available space in that column.
3. Objective: The goal is to be the first player to get four of your discs in a continuous row. This row can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
4. Strategy: Pay attention to your opponent's moves. Block their attempts to get four in a row while simultaneously building your own connections.
5. Winning: The first player to successfully connect four of their discs in a row wins the game.
6. Resetting the Game: After a game concludes, pull the slider bar at the bottom of the grid to release all the discs. This clears the grid for the next round of play.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the game components, wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the plastic or the disc labels.

6. Troubleshooting
