About This Game

Four in a Row is a classic two player strategy game played on a grid of seven columns and six rows. Players take turns dropping a coloured disc into a column and the disc falls to the lowest free slot. The first player to line up four of their own discs horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins the game. If the whole grid fills up with no line of four, the game is a draw. Play against a friend on the same device or challenge the built-in computer opponent.

Game Tips

  • Claim the centre column early. Discs placed there take part in more possible winning lines than discs on the edges.
  • Watch your opponent's three in a row and block it immediately, and look for moves that create two threats at once.
