What this game offers

Connect four pieces while considering where the next one will land and what the opponent is threatening.

You may enjoy it if…

You enjoy turn-based boards and blocking a threat before building your own.

Start with Four in a Row.

What to keep in mind

This version pits one person against the computer; it has no room for two friends.

Pace: Turn-based against the computer, without a countdown.

An example decision

If the computer can complete a line next turn, first check whether your piece can block it. A nearby column is not necessarily a valid block.

How to play

Your next piece could change everything.

Choose a column. The piece drops to the first supported empty spot.

Look for double threats: two places where your next piece could complete a line. First check whether the opponent can win on its next turn.

You can remove just one piece per game. If the drop creates two winning lines, the player who removed the piece wins.
