Connect Four · How to play
Connect Four adds gravity to a line-making game. A piece lands in the lowest empty space of a column, so threats depend on which heights are actually reachable.
Controls
Local two-player. Tap a column to drop a disc. Connect four horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Rules & goal
- Take turns dropping a piece into a column.
- Four matching pieces in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line win.
- A full column cannot accept another piece. A filled board without four in a row is a draw.
Beginner tips
- Check for an opponent’s immediate winning move before building your own line.
- The central area supports threats in more directions than a single edge.
