About Connect 4
Connect 4 is a simple board game built around smart placement and prediction. Take turns dropping colored discs into a vertical grid and try to build a winning line before your opponent.
Every move matters because each disc can strengthen your own setup or create an opening for the other player. Look ahead, block dangerous combinations, and create multiple ways to connect four.
How to Play
Choose a column and drop your disc. It falls into the lowest available space, then your opponent takes a turn.
Create a line of four matching discs horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to win. If your opponent is close to completing a line, block it before making your next attack.
