Be the first player to connect four of your discs in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Επισκόπηση
Four in a Row (Connect Four) is a connection game where two players take turns dropping colored discs into a vertical grid. The disc falls to the lowest available space in the selected column. It's more strategic than Tic-Tac-Toe while remaining accessible.
Ρύθμιση
The game is played on a vertical 7-column, 6-row grid (7x6). The board starts empty. Each player has 21 discs of their color. Red typically moves first.
Πώς να παίξετε
- On your turn, drop one disc into any column that isn't full.
- The disc falls to the lowest empty space in that column.
- Players alternate turns.
- The first player to create a line of four connected discs wins.
- Connections can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
- If the board fills completely (42 discs) with no winner, the game is a draw.
Κέρδος του παιχνιδιού
Create four consecutive discs of your color in any direction. The game is a draw if the board fills without either player achieving four in a row.
