Four in a Row

Drop a disc. Spot a line. Stay one step ahead.

How to play

Two players take turns dropping one disc into any of the seven columns; each disc falls to the lowest open space in that column, so where it lands isn’t always where you click. Be the first to line up four of your own discs in a row — across, up-and-down, or diagonally — to win. If the board fills up completely before either player connects four, the game is a draw.

Click or tap a column. Tab between columns and press Enter to drop a disc.
