Four in a Row
Four in a Row
Drop discs, line up four before the AI does.
How to play
The board stands upright: 7 columns, 6 rows. Pick a column and your disc drops to the lowest empty spot. Four of your discs in a row, across, down or diagonal, wins.
Against the AI, every win adds to your streak and the AI starts the next round. A draw keeps your streak and swaps who starts. One loss ends the run.
The AI always takes a winning move and blocks yours when it isn't making a mistake. Hard looks six moves ahead and never slips. Or play a friend on the same screen.

Tips & strategy
- The middle column is part of the most possible lines. Claim it early and often.
- Never drop into the cell directly under your opponent's winning spot. You'd hand them that spot.
- Stack two threats in the same column, one right above the other: block the lower one and you hand over the upper one.
- The AI always takes a win and blocks a win when it doesn't slip. To beat it, make two threats at once.
