Connect 4

📖 How to Play & Rules – Connect 4

• The game is played on a vertical board with 7 columns and 6 rows.
• Players take turns dropping one colored disc (Red or Yellow) into any non-full column. The disc falls to the lowest available row in that column.
• The first player to form an unbroken line of four of their own discs horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins the game.
• If all 42 slots are filled without a four-in-a-row, the game ends in a draw.

💡 Strategy Tips & Tricks

• Control the center column: Any horizontal or diagonal line of four spanning across the board must pass through the center column (column 4). Claiming center slots early gives a massive tactical edge.
• Create double threats: Set up two winning spots at the same time so your opponent can only block one of them.
• Watch what you unlock: Before dropping a piece, check if the space directly above it gives your opponent an immediate four-in-a-row.
