About Four in a Row
Four in a Row is the classic two-player strategy game for one screen. Players take turns dropping a red or black disc into one of seven columns, and it falls to the lowest open space. The first to line up four of their own discs horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins. It is quick to learn but rewards thinking two moves ahead, especially setting up two threats at once. Pass the phone or share a keyboard; there is no computer opponent. Served from our own servers with no pre-roll ad. Open-source work by Bryan Braun, MIT licensed.
Fans of board will feel at home, and the two player and strategy elements give it extra range. Loading time and performance depend on the game, your device, and your connection.
Two quick pointers before you dive deep: If lobbies offer different skill levels, choose one appropriate for your experience. If the mode uses teams, coordinate your next action instead of assuming others will follow.
Add Four in a Row to your break rotation if its controls and play style suit you. Read the published privacy information for details about the site and its partners. Credit for the build goes to Bryan Braun.
