4 in a Row, often known as Connect Four, is a two-player connection game where the objective is to be the first to form a line of four of your own colored discs in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row on a grid. The game is typically played on a 6x7 grid (6 rows and 7 columns), although the grid size may vary in some variations.
Setup: Each player chooses a color (usually red or yellow) and takes turns dropping one of their colored discs into one of the columns on the grid. The disc will occupy the lowest available slot in the chosen column.
Objective: The goal is to be the first player to connect four of their discs in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, while preventing the opponent from doing the same.
Turns: Players take turns dropping a single disc into any of the available columns. Once a disc is placed in a column, it will fall to the lowest unoccupied position in that column.
Blocking and Strategizing: Players must strategize to build their own row of four discs while also blocking their opponent from forming a winning row. This involves creating potential winning combinations for themselves and disrupting their opponent's plans.
Winning: The game ends when one player successfully connects four of their colored discs in a row. If the grid is filled before any player achieves this, the game is a draw, and no one wins.
4 in a Row is a simple yet engaging strategy game that requires critical thinking and planning several moves ahead to outwit your opponent.
