About this game

Connect Four is a board game for one or two players. Players drop checkers into a playing area with seven columns and six rows, aiming to connect four pieces in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line.

Success requires both creating a winning line and preventing the opposing player—or the computer in single-player mode—from completing one first.
