Connect Four

Overview:
- Estimated achievement difficulty: 1/10
- Offline: 10 (200)
- Online: 0
- Approximate amount of time to 200 : 1 hour
- Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1
- Number of achievements that can be missed: None
- Glitched achievements: No

This game has no hard achievements, no long achievements, and is one of the easiest arcade games to date, which is why it's a 1/10. Most of the achievements are for winning in various ways, which can all be done in local or LIVE play with a friend. The only achievement you might have trouble with is winning four times in a row against the AI, which isn't tough considering you can restart the game without it counting as a loss.

Scrabble

Overview:
- Estimated achievement difficulty: 3/10
- Offline: 9 (180 )
- Online: 1 (20 )
- Approximate amount of time to 200 : 2-3 hours
- Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1
- Number of achievements that can be missed: None
- Glitched achievements: None

Welcome to Scrabble as part of Hasbro's Family Game Night! Scrabble has 10 achievements for 200 . It is the most challenging of the Family Game Night games, but even that doesn't say a whole lot. The online community is not very solid, and seeing as this is the only Family Game Night game with an online achievement, that might make things difficult. Try using the Achievement Trading Thread for Scrabble if you need help with this.

For the rest of the achievements, just use two controllers and make great use of Scrabble.com, if you need help with 7 and 9 letter words, or for the whole game. For quick wins, just spell one word and then keep exchanging for new letters with both controllers until the game ends. It cuts a lot of time out of what can be a long game.

Note: Scrabble is available only in North America.

Winner!10
Win one game of Boggle
See "Fifty Wins"
Loads Of Winning!30
Win a total of 5 games of Boggle - Any mode
See "Fifty Wins"
Wordsmith20
Score 5 6-letter words in one round of Boggle
Unless you like torturing yourself, my advice is to use the Word Hunt mode and search for 6-letter words displayed on the Lexicon.
Bits and Pieces10
Make 10 words that are 3 letters long in one round
See "The Mind Boggles"
Portal Pro20
Win 10 games of Boggle with Portal Cubes turned on
See "Fifty Wins", but go to custom and set Portal Cubes on.
The Mind Boggles20
Win a game with 20 words that are 3 letters long
Simply do a custom game with the timer set to 8 minutes and 1 round. This should be more than enough time to find 20 3-letter words. In case, do Word Hunt.
The Mighty 820
Spell an 8-letter word in Boggle
Again, unless you still like torturing yourself, use Word Hunt as it tells you the longest words on the board.
I Call Fives20
Finish a game only using 5-letter words
Simply start a game of Boggle and select 1 5-letter word and let the timer run out.
Fifty Wins40
Win 50 multiplayer games of Boggle
Simply connect 2 controllers and do a custom game and select one word. Repeat until you get 50 wins.
You are Win!10
Win just one game of Connect 4
Just win a single game of connect 4. The achievement will unlock once you complete that game.
More Wins!20
Win a total of 10 games of Connect 4
See "Lord of the Wins"
High Five20
Win at Connect 4 by connecting 5
Start up a normal local game with another controller or a game over LIVE. Simply lay two of your chips on the bottom row, have the other player lay their chips on top of yours, skip a column, lay two more chips and then lay the last chip in the open space between your four chips to Connect 5.
Grid Lock20
Finish a game with a draw by filling the whole board
Smooth Operator20
Connect 4 in under 2 minutes
See "Operator, this is an emergency"
Operator, this is an emergency20
Connect 4 in under 30 seconds
Start up a normal local game with another controller, or a game over LIVE. Simply lay four chips horizontally or vertical with the opponent not interfering to get a Connect 4 in under 30 seconds.
Power Chip Collector20
Win a game of Connect 4 Using all of the Power Chip types at least once
See "Lord of the Wins"
Horizon Line20
Win a game of connect 4 with a horizontal line of 7 pieces. Single player or multiplayer
Start up a normal local game with another controller or over LIVE. Lay your first three chips in the first three slots on the left, then do the same for the next three chips, but on the right side. Finally, fill the middle slot to gain a Connect 7.
Lord of the Wins30
Win 50 games of Connect 4
Any time you win on LIVE or locally, it will count towards this achievement. The easiest way to get this achievement is with a second controller. Set up a local game, sign the second account in and just play Original Connect 4. Have the second controller place chips away from yours as you go for Connect 4's. It takes about 15 seconds a game, so that's under 13 minutes of actual game play for 50 wins. You can check how many wins you have by selecting Achievements in the Trophies section of the game.
Perfection20
Win 4 single player rounds in a row!
Start up a normal local game with another controller or a game over LIVE. There are a total of 42 spaces that both players have to fill without managing to get a Connect 4 or higher.

To do this have one player fill the first three slots (on the left) on the bottom with the same color; have the other player lay their chips on top; repeat this until you reach the top. There should be four open columns to the right; use the three columns furthest to the right and repeat what you just did.

Eventually there will be just a center column to fill. Make sure you alternate opposite colors in this column so you don't get a Connect 4.

Win!10
Win one game of Sorry!
See "5 Times Win".
5 Times Win!25
Win a total of 5 games of Sorry! against a friend
Simply set up any match with two controllers. The quickest way to do this is the Bonus Cards mode. One match takes approximately 7-8 minutes - 5-6 if you're lucky with the cards. That's a total of about 30-40 minutes for all games.

As stated by the user Rocket, these wins don't have to be against a friend at all, as wins against the CPU will count, too. Whilst wins with two controllers will be a lot faster, this is good news for everyone with only one controller.
My Apologies5
Move one pawn of an opposing team back to the start zone
Start up a normal local game with another controller, or a game over LIVE. Simply lay four chips horizontally or vertical with the opponent not interfering to get a Connect 4 in under 30 seconds.
Fragile Alliance10
Finish Sorry! without sending any of one teams pawns back to the start
This one might be tricky. You are required to finish a match without ever having any other pawns moved back to their starts. That means you won't be able to use Sorry!-cards, the bonus cards "Wipeout" and "Sideswipe" or yellow slides.

This may become really annoying, especially if you end up having only Sorry!-cards available. Small hint: If you have a steal card available on any other player besides you, use it to steal the Sorry! card of your main account on purpose. You will need to remember the correct position of the card as the enemy cards are covered while in steal mode.
I am not Sorry at all30
Win a multiplayer game in under 10 minutes
Win any match in less than 10 minutes. This is easily done in Bonus Cards mode with two controllers. The quickest route is to go directly to the right, not the left. You may do this if you have a 1 or 2 to place a pawn on the actual board and then use a 4 to reach the rightmost corner.

Note that getting 1's and 4's right at the start won't happen every time, so this one is a little luck-based.
All Out Offensive30
Move 2 pawns from every opposing team back to the start in one game
Start up a normal local game with another controller or over LIVE. Lay your first three chips in the first three slots on the left, then do the same for the next three chips, but on the right side. Finally, fill the middle slot to gain a Connect 7.
Rainbow Dancing10
Win a game after moving one pawn from each team back to the start zone
See "All Out Offensive".
The Yellow Dart 20
Use a Sorry! yellow slide to send a pawn back to start
Slide over an enemy while he is standing somewhere in the middle of a yellow slide. There are 2 on every side of the board.



Have the enemy player stand somewhere between A-D whilst you directly hit E to start the slide (You won't start it when you hit some other spot than E).

Note: Slides may appear in different colors.
Red Vengeance20
Use Sorry! on an opponent within one round of them using Sorry! on one of your pawns.
This has to be done against the AI in any mode. Select Play Custom, set the Game Mode to Power Chips, and change the settings to:
AI Difficulty: Novice
Column Drop: No
Drop Clock: Disabled
Rounds: 1
Score Limit: None
Time Limit: 1:00

I found it easiest to try to get two chips on top of each other, then wait for the Hand power chip. Once you get the Hand, place it on your two chips and the opponent won't be able to lay a chip there. You can then score a Connect 4, and just let the time run out. If you are about to lose/tie a game, you can just press the start button and select Restart - this won't count as a loss.

For some reason I had to view the Trophy for this specific achievement in the my Trophies collection, before it would unlock.
Master of the Cards40
Use all the Sorry! Bonus Cards in one game
Simple. Just avoid winning a Bonus Cards game unless you're sure to have used all available Bonus Cards.

Steal (Steal any card from any player)

Wipeout (Take out at least 1 pawn of every player)
All Change (Get a complete new set of cards)
Freedom (Get pawns onto the actual board without being needed to have a 1 or 2)
For the Win!10
Win one game of Yahtzee against a friend
All the Sixes20
Get a Yahtzee with all sixes!
Simply set up any match with two controllers. The quickest way to do this is the Bonus Cards mode. One match takes approximately 7-8 minutes - 5-6 if you're lucky with the cards. That's a total of about 30-40 minutes for all games.

As stated by the user Rocket, these wins don't have to be against a friend at all, as wins against the CPU will count, too. Whilst wins with two controllers will be a lot faster, this is good news for everyone with only one controller.
High Chance25
Fill the chance Total with a score above 24
Dice Time20
Clock up over an Hour of playtime in Yahtzee
High Roller15
Roll 3 Yahtzee's in one game
This one might be tricky. You are required to finish a match without ever having any other pawns moved back to their starts. That means you won't be able to use Sorry!-cards, the bonus cards "Wipeout" and "Sideswipe" or yellow slides.

This may become really annoying, especially if you end up having only Sorry!-cards available. Small hint: If you have a steal card available on any other player besides you, use it to steal the Sorry! card of your main account on purpose. You will need to remember the correct position of the card as the enemy cards are covered while in steal mode.
Real Small20
Roll a small straight starting with a 1
I Only Need One...30
Roll a Yahtzee, Full House or Large Straight on your first roll
Ground Floor Apartment10
Roll a Full House using only 1’s and 2’s
Set up a match with four controllers - Guitar Hero controllers work too. Now, you don't want to finish the match unless you moved two pawns from every team back to their starts. If you're unsure, write a list and cross them off as you move them back.
Infinite Win40
Win 50 games of Yahtzee
Winningtons!10
Win one game of Sorry! Sliders
See " So Many Wins..."

Note: Slides may appear in different colors.

A quick tip if your stuck on getting the ice pawn just change the turntable to off and the KO penalties to off. If you change the setting and play on danger dots its not to hard. Instant Sorry board might be good as well.

Over the falls30
Knock 4 pawns of the same colour out in one game of Sorry! Sliders
This seems like its hard but it really isn't, as the achievement description says you need to knock of 4 pawns of the same color. You don't need to knock all 4 pawns at once just as long as you knock 4 of the other pieces out in the single play through.
Slide Time30

You should get this while your getting the other achievements. Just play through the game for an hour.
Ice Man20

I thought I heard singing...10
Do not fall for a Decoy
Word Win!10
Win one game of Scrabble. (Scrabble is only available in North America & English).
Just win a game in any Scrabble mode. You can use two controllers.
More Winning20
Win 5 games of Scrabble - Any mode. Scrabble is only available in North America & English.
Just win five games in any mode, you can use two controllers. Xbox Live games count, too.
Cleaned Out20
Use all of your letters on one turn. (Scrabble is only available in North America and English).
You will need to use all seven of your tiles. You can go to http://www.wineverygame.com and type in your letters (type "?" for blank tiles.) You should easily get this your first game.
World Wide Web20
Complete one game of Scrabble on Xbox LIVE. (Scrabble is only available in NA & English).
From the main menu of Family Game Night, select Play via Xbox LIVE. From here, you can either go to custom match and find someone waiting in a Scrabble game, or create your own. Just finish the game (win or lose) and it will unlock. You can look for others to trade this achievement with in the Achievement Trading Thread, located Here.
Bridge the gap20
Reach the other side of the board in bridge builders. (Scrabble is only available in NA & English).
Play with two controllers on Bridge Builders. You start on the left side of the board and need to connect words so a tile touches the right side of the board. To make this quicker or easier, use http://www.wineverygame.com for word-building.
A column of 720
Place 5+ tiles in one go to create a vertical 7 letter word. Only available in NA & English.
This can be done in any mode -- a regular game of Scrabble would probably be the easiest. You can do this by either creating a 7+ letter word vertically (up and down) or by adding on to other letters to make a 7 letter word. Using two controllers, you should be able to set yourself up to make big words. For example: "ER" is a valid word, so try to create that word vertically. Once you've done that, with the help of http://www.wineverygame.com you should be able to create a 7 letter word using at at least five or your tiles.
Fire it up!10
Spell 5 words with letters that are "on fire". (Scrabble is only available in NA & English).
Play locally and select Play Custom from the Scrabble menu. Choose Hot Letters as the Game Mode; start the game up. In order to get your letters "on fire" you will need to hold down the until the bag starts to catch fire; do this when it's your turn to grab letters.

When the bag has flames on it, quickly let go of the and press to Deal All. Your letters should be on fire, and this is the state the letters must remain when you create a word. The letters must have flames on them when you press to confirm your word (There is a difference between "heated up" and "on fire." "On fire" letters will have flames on them, "heated up" letters will just seem like they're gleaming.)

This must be done in one game and the entire word does not have to be all "on fire;" only one or more letters of the word do. I would suggest using a lot of 2-3 letter words when going for this.
Lengthy Word20
Place 5+ tiles in one go to create a 9 letter word. Scrabble is only available in NA & English.
This can be done in any mode -- a regular game of Scrabble would probably be the easiest. You must create a 9+ letter word, which means you need to build off of at least two existing tiles. Using the same method as "A column of 7" -- set yourself up with an existing "ER" or "ERS" -- both which are valid words. Once you've done that, with the help of http://www.wineverygame.com type in the letters "ER" or "ERS" along with your seven tiles, and eventually it will return a nine letter word for you. Make sure you have plenty of space open before the word you're building onto. If your letters aren't ideal for creating big words, trade them in for new letters until you have a good set. (Ideally, keep all of your A, E, N, R, S, T, and blank tiles.) (For the record, my word was "AIRLINERS".)

Another method is to make the word "LING" "RING" or "TING" (all valid words) and go that route, instead of using "ER" or "ERS."
Captain of the Scrabble Team30
Win 20 games of Scrabble. Scrabble is only available in North America and English.
This can be done in any mode. From the main menu select Play Locally, select Scrabble and go down to Play Custom. Change Game Mode to Hot Letters, and select Play. You will want to play by yourself. Press to Deal All; once you have all seven letters on your tray, press to End Game/Pass Turn; you will end up winning the game. Select Play Again and do the same thing until you reach 20 wins.
Take your time30
Reach over an hours playtime in Scrabble. (Scrabble is only available in North America & English).
This requires you to be in games for a total of 60 minutes, time spent on the menus do not count. By the time you finish all of the other achievements, this one should be unlocked.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
