How to play Connect Four

- Click a column button or press a number from one to seven.
- Build a line while blocking your opponent’s next winning move.
- A win or draw clears a solo level; a completed friendly match also clears its level.
Connect Four tips for your next round
- Check for a winning move or an immediate opponent threat before each drop.
- A disc falls to the lowest open row, so a diagonal plan also needs support underneath.
- Central columns can contribute to more possible lines, but always block a direct threat first.
Can two people play Connect Four on one device?
