Instructions
How to play
Select your column by using the mouse or touch controls to drop a disc into the grid. Your piece will fall to the lowest available space in that column. Take turns with your opponent, aiming to create a continuous line of four matching discs in any direction. Success depends on balancing your offensive moves with defensive blocks to prevent the other player from completing their line first.
Tips for beginners
- Control the center columns early to maximize your connection possibilities across the board.
- Always scan the entire grid for potential diagonal threats from your opponent.
- Plan several moves ahead to set up 'forks' where you have multiple ways to win at once.
