Connect Four
About Connect Four
Connect Four is a classic board game where you drop colored discs into a grid, aiming to line up four in a row before your opponent does. It runs right in your browser, on phone or computer, with no download required. The game keeps its familiar rules, so if you have played it before, you already know how to jump in and start playing.
How to play Connect Four
Players take turns dropping one disc at a time into a column, and the disc falls to the lowest open space in that column. The goal is to connect four of your discs in a row, whether that row is horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Watch the board carefully, since your opponent is also trying to build their own line of four while blocking yours.
Tips for playing Connect Four
- Try to control the center columns early, since they give you more chances to build lines in multiple directions.
- Always check the board before dropping a disc to see if your opponent is one move away from connecting four.
- Think a few moves ahead and avoid setting up a column that lets your opponent win right after your turn.
