Connect Four

Drop your discs and line up four — across, down, or diagonally — before your opponent does. Easy to learn, tricky to master.

How to play

1. Players take turns dropping discs into the 7-column grid.
2. Click a column to drop your disc — it falls to the lowest empty slot.
3. Line up four of your discs in a row — across, down, or diagonally — to win.
4. Block your opponent’s threats while building your own. A full board with no four-in-a-row is a draw.

Tips & strategy

• Control the centre column — it touches the most possible four-in-a-row lines.
• Think one move ahead: don't drop a disc that hands your opponent a winning slot directly on top of it.
• Set up two threats at once so a single block can't stop both.
