Pool-Friendly Board Games

The Floating Four Across Pool Game is Inspired by the Classic Pastime

The Floating Four Across Pool Game is a new take on the classic board game that will offer swimmers with a way to enjoy a round or two outside in the warm weather. The oversized version of the board game is further enhanced by its ability to float, which will enable it to be played in the pool by players of all ages. The game requires participants to try their hand to line up four of the checker pieces in either a horizontal, vertical or diagonal manner.

The Floating Four Across Pool Game is designed for use in the pool, but can also be played indoors or out on dry land for an oversized gaming experience.
