About Connect Four

Connect Four against the computer. Drop your red discs into the columns and try to line up four in a row — horizontally, vertically or diagonally — before the computer connects four of its own. The computer takes a win when it can and blocks yours, so you’ll need to set up threats it can’t stop. It runs in your browser, no signup or download.
