How to play 4 in a Row
Playing 4 in a Row is straightforward and offers a perfect balance of simplicity and strategy:
- Game Setup: The game typically consists of a 6x7 grid where you and your opponent take turns placing colored chips (traditionally, red and yellow) into the grid's columns. The goal is to create a sequence of four chips of your color in a row, column, or diagonal.
- Taking Turns: Players take turns to choose a column in which to drop their colored chip. The chip will occupy the lowest available position in the selected column.
- Strategic Placement: To win, you must carefully plan your moves, considering both your immediate goal of connecting four chips and blocking your opponent's potential winning moves.
- Victory: The game ends when one player successfully forms a sequence of four chips in a row, and they are declared the winner. If the grid becomes full without either player achieving four in a row, the game is a draw.
