Connect Four (also known as connect 4, Four Up, Plot Four, Find Four, Captain's Mistress, Four in a Row, Drop Four, and Gravitrips in the Soviet Union) is a game in which players choose a color and then change Take turns dropping colored cards into a grid hanging vertically in six rows and seven columns. The pieces fall straight down, occupying the lowest space in the column. The object of the game is to be the first person to form a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of four tokens of his own. Connect Four is a solved game. The first player can always win by making the right move.
Connect four of your pieces in a row while preventing your opponent from doing the same. However, be careful; your opponents can sneak up on you and win the game!
How to play:
The gameplay example (right) shows the first player starting Connect Four by dropping one of their yellow discs into the middle column of an empty game board. The two players then take turns dropping one of their discs into an empty column until the second player, with red discs, achieves four consecutive diagonals and wins the game. If the board is full before either player reaches four points in a row, the game is tied.
