How to play Four in a Row
SLTPPF presents Four in a Row with a practical playbook rather than a download screen. Connect four discs horizontally, vertically or diagonally. A full board without a winner is a draw. Read the careful restarts note before you begin.
Careful restarts
Start a fresh round when you want another attempt. Restarting may discard current progress; read the controls rather than assuming an account backup exists.
Your goal
Connect four discs horizontally, vertically or diagonally. A full board without a winner is a draw.
Step by step
- Player 1 selects a column.
- The disc falls to that column’s lowest empty cell.
- Player 2 chooses a column, and turns alternate.
- Watch for horizontal, vertical and both diagonal lines.
Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch.
A useful example
A diagonal requires support beneath each disc. You cannot drop a disc into the middle of an empty column.
Watch out for this
Selecting a full column does not use your turn.
