📘 How to Play Four in a Row

Drop a disc into a column and line up four. The computer both attacks and blocks you.

🧠 What it builds

Short, regular sessions (10-15 minutes a day) work better than one long sitting.

📱 Where it runs

Works in the browser on phone, tablet and desktop — no install, no sign-up. Turn the phone sideways and the layout rearranges itself, keeping every control finger-sized.

🎯 Who it is for

Designed for ages 5-12.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the disc not go where I tap?

Discs fall with gravity to the lowest free slot of the column; you choose the column, not the square. That is where the name comes from.

How does the computer play?

It takes a winning move if it has one, blocks yours if you have one, otherwise prefers the middle columns.

Why is the board smaller on a phone?

Narrow screens use 6 columns and landscape phones 4 rows so every cell stays finger-sized. On a computer it is the classic 7×6.

Does the first player have an advantage?

In the classic game yes, and here you (red) start every round; the computer balances that with blocking moves.

What happens on a draw?

A full board ends the round as a draw and a new round starts; points are only given for wins.
