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

1. Player 1 selects a column.
2. The disc falls to that column’s lowest empty cell.
3. Player 2 chooses a column, and turns alternate.
4. 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.
