About Four in a Row
Four in a Row is the classic vertical disc-dropping strategy game, free in your browser. Take turns dropping red and gold discs into a 7-column grid; the first to line up four of their own across, down or diagonally wins. Play the computer at three levels or a friend on the same device, block your opponent's threats and set traps of your own.
How to play
Click a column to drop a disc; it falls to the lowest free space. Get four of your discs in a row — across, down or diagonally — to win. Choose a computer level on the menu, or 2 Players for a friend on this device. Z undoes (halves that game's score).

Tips for Four in a Row
- Play the middle column — more lines of four pass through it than any other.
- Watch for your opponent's three in a row and block the fourth spot.
- Build threats on different rows; two at once usually wins.
- Don't play directly under a square your opponent needs — you'd give it to them.
- Think about which threats will become playable as the columns fill.
