The aim is simple: be the first to get four of your discs in a straight line, whether across, up and down, or at an angle. Players alternate dropping colored tokens into a 7-column, 6-row grid.
Each move can set up a win or block an opponent’s strategy.
You can play solo against an AI with adjustable difficulty settings, making the game approachable for all skill levels. The computer analyzes potential moves and responds intelligently, providing a challenging experience.
Whether you're a beginner or looking to sharpen your tactics, the AI adapts to your gameplay.
Easy to learn yet challenging to master, the game focuses on pattern recognition, critical thinking, and forward planning. Like classic abstract games such as Tic-Tac-Toe or Gomoku, every round is quick to start, allowing for repeated rematches and endless strategizing.
Local multiplayer lets you play with a friend on the same device, making it a great social or family activity.
Four In A Row is free to play directly in your browser with no downloads required. It’s fully unblocked and works on both school and work networks, so you can enjoy classic competition anytime.
Your goal is to be the first to connect four of your colored discs in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—before your opponent does.
To play, use the mouse or tap the screen to select a column. Your disc will drop to the lowest available slot in that column. Alternate turns with your opponent or the computer.
Plan each move carefully. Block your opponent’s attempts while creating your own opportunities to win. The board resets quickly for back-to-back rounds.
If you play against the computer, you can adjust the AI’s difficulty for an easier or more challenging match.
Center control - Drop discs in the center columns to maximize your winning chances. Block threats - Always watch for your opponent setting up three in a row—block them quickly. Plan ahead - Think two or three moves in advance to create multiple winning paths.
Force mistakes - Set up double threats to make your opponent choose which one to block. Quick rematch - Use the restart option to try new strategies each round.
