Rainbow Four in a Row

Block Design
£35.00
Tax included.

A bold new twist on a classic game. Our Rainbow Four in a Row swaps flat counters for sculptural painted wooden pieces, cubes against spheres, in a rainbow colour gradient. Start with the colours in order, then watch them mix as you play, making new colour pairings with every move. A wooden four in a row game that looks as good on the shelf as it plays on the table.

Shortlisted as a finalist in the Gift of the Year 2026 awards, in Games & Puzzles.

Why we made it

Every game in our studio starts with colour. We took a game most of us grew up with and asked what it would look like as a design object: shapes instead of counters, a gradient instead of two flat colours. The rules haven't changed, so anyone can pick it up and play.
