How to play Connect Four
Be the first to line up four of your discs in a row.
Setting up a hidden double threat that your opponent can't block in one move turns a casual drop into a quiet trap.
- Click a column to drop your disc into it
- Discs fall to the lowest open slot in that column
💡 Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal — watch all directions.
💡 Build toward two possible winning columns at the same time so blocking one still leaves the other open for you.
