Four in a Row
Drop discs, line up four, beat the computer
About Four in a Row
Four in a Row is the disc-dropping game most people learn as children and then discover is much deeper than it looks. Two players take turns dropping discs into a seven-column, six-row grid; gravity does the rest, and the first to line up four in any direction wins.
You play against the computer at one of three strengths. Easy misses most setups but will still take a win or block one, medium looks four moves ahead, and hard looks six and is genuinely hard to beat. The opening move alternates between you and the computer each game, because going first is a real advantage in this game and it would be unfair to keep it.
How to play Four in a Row
Be the first to get four of your discs in a line — across, up and down, or diagonally — by dropping them into a seven-by-six grid where every disc falls to the lowest free space in its column.
