How to play

How to play Four in a Row

Controls

  • Click or tap a column to drop a disc into its lowest empty space. On a keyboard, press 1–7 to choose the corresponding column.
  • Choose Computer or Friend on this device from Play against. New game clears the board; changing the opponent also starts a fresh game.

Goal

Connect four discs of your color in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line before the other player. A full 42-space board without a winning line is a draw.

About

About Four in a Row

A turn-based disc-dropping board game with a computer opponent and a local two-player mode. Gravity makes the lowest empty space in each column the only available landing spot.

Play better

Quick tips

First move

Drop your first red disc near the center, then watch the yellow reply before choosing another column.

Practical tip

Check whether the other player can win on the next turn before building your own line. A diagonal needs supporting discs beneath its higher spaces.
