The Galton Game is played by two persons (players Red and Blue) which drop balls in turn into one of the seven slots at the top, similar ot the game 'Connect Four'.
The extra ball in the bottom left corner shows whose turn it is.

In addition to the seven columns at the bottom, the Galton Game board has three layers of obstacles in the upper part.
The board is standing vertical. The player to move drops one ball of his colour in one of the top entries.
The ball rattles through the nails and ends in one of the columns.

Winning condition is to have four balls of the own colour in row:
either horizontally or vertically or diagonally.

Each column can take up to six balls.
When a ball becomes the seventh ball in a column, remaining above the column itself, the player takes it out and drops it again in one of the top entries.
For a proper win, all four balls have to be properly IN columns!

Variants:
Variants 2 and 3 have only 5 and 3 slkots at the top, respectively.
Variants 4 is like variant 1, with two additional obstacles in the central row of obstacles.

Game invented November 2012 by professor Ingo Althoefer (Jena University), who got the idea when looking at the classic game 'Connect Four' (invented in 1973 by Howard Wexler and Ned Strongin), also known as 'Captain's Mistress', 'Four Up', 'Plot Four', 'Find Four', 'Fourplay', 'Four in a Line', 'Four in a Row'.
