- A player cannot move or remove a disc once it has been dropped.
Winning Conditions:

- Horizontally (left to right or right to left) across a row.
- Vertically (top to bottom or bottom to top) up a column.
- Diagonally (top-left to bottom-right or top-right to bottom-left) from top-left to bottom-right or top-right to bottom-left.
- If all columns are filled and no player has won, the game is a draw.
