About Four in a Row
Drop a disc into a column and make a line of four before your opponent. Look for threats in every direction. Flame and star symbols distinguish the two sides as well as colour.
How to play
- Goal
- Line up four of your discs across, up or diagonally.
- How it ends
- The first four in a row wins; a full rack with no four is a draw. In a Trial, find the forced win.
- Record
- Each Trial keeps the fastest first win; table games keep your fewest moves and fastest win against each keeper.
- Drop a disc into any non-full column. It falls to the lowest open space.
- Make four of your discs in one line across, up or diagonally before the other side does.
- In a Trial, find the only opening that keeps the forced win, then finish it against perfect defence.
