Computer Science NEA Minimax/MCTS and AlphaZero

Hi, I want to make a game along similar lines to connect four but slightly more complicated, it's not available online currently that I can find.

I've done a few youtube tutorials on making connect 4/chess with Minimax and I am confident I will be able to make it with this (and using alpha beta pruning). But I'm wondering if that's too simple to get an A*? My teacher seemed a bit underwhelmed by it.

I've done a youtube tutorial for Tic tac toe and Connect 4 using Monte Carlo Tree search and AlphaZero, I could do the MCTS for this game I think but really not sure if I could get the AlphaZero to work. Is it better to give it a go though, even if I might not get it working or stick with the easier option that I am confident that I can do? I want to do Computer science at uni so I don't want to do something underwhelming.....
