Is Connect 4 rules more similar to blackjack or baseball?

Question

Meaning.... when one player connects FIVE in a row, does that mean:

a) like in blackjack, its about precision, because one went OVER 4 (or over 21), that it does not count as a win, or...

b) like in baseball, when more is simply BETTER, such as a team winning 17-2 instead of 5-2

So... A or B?

Answer 1

It's like neither.

It does not matter if you get over 4, you are not penalized or rewarded more. It's just the same as getting 4, which is what matters.

Answer 2

It is more like baseball, because if you connect five in a row it does count.

Answer 3

five in a row would be better I guess.  If I was going to compare it to anything it would be  tic-tac-toe.  If you drew an X on the side of the board and then you got a tic-tac-toe in that row you would still win.  I guess it would be like baseball

Answer 4

im sorry that i cant explain how but im 98% sure it \

b: like in baseball
