4 in a Row: Classic

A vertical grid fills the board, stacking colored discs exactly like the tabletop version. In 4 in a Row: Classic, the layout uses 6 rows and 7 columns, matching the standard setup. Blue and red pieces face off in a race to line up four of one color. A full set supports a match against the computer or a head-to-head round for two players.

How to play?

Before each round, pick a disc color for both sides, then place pieces into any of the seven columns with blue moving first. Each move sends a disc down the slot until it lands at the bottom or rests on top of another disc already in that column. Build a line of four matching pieces across the grid on a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal path. Once a column fills up, no more discs fit there, and the remaining moves must go elsewhere. If all seven columns fill without a completed line, the round ends in a draw.
