How to play 4 In A Row
- Take turns dropping a disc into one of the 7 columns — it falls to the lowest open slot.
- First to connect 4 of their discs in a row wins — across, down, or diagonally.
- If the board fills with no connect-four, the game is a draw.
- Tip: watch the diagonals, and never gift your opponent a slot directly above your own threat.
