How to Play

Click a column to drop a piece. First to connect four in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) wins.

Objective

Red and yellow take turns dropping pieces from the top of a column. Pieces fall to the lowest empty position due to gravity. The first player to connect four pieces in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — wins. A full board with no winner is a draw.

Controls

• Click any column to drop a piece into the lowest empty slot
• Keyboard: use ←/→ arrow keys to select a column, Enter or Space to drop
• Pieces cannot float — they must land on existing pieces or the bottom
• vs AI / 2 Players: switch in settings
• Undo reverts the last move
• Red moves first

Tips & Strategy

• Prioritize the center column — it offers the most connection opportunities
• Watch for defense: block your opponent's three-in-a-row promptly
• Build "double threats": create two four-in-a-row opportunities simultaneously
• Avoid dropping above your opponent's three-in-a-row (it completes their four)
• Easy AI is good for learning; Hard AI calculates multiple moves ahead
