Gameplay Mechanics:

  • The game is played on a 7x6 grid, with each square representing a possible drop location.
  • Each player has a set of colored discs, typically red (X) and yellow (O).
  • Players take turns dropping one disc at a time into an empty column.
  • A disc can only be dropped into an empty column, and it will fall to the lowest available square in that column.
  • A player cannot move or remove a disc once it has been dropped.

Winning Conditions:

  • A player wins when they get four of their colored discs in a row, either:
    • 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.

Strategies:

  • Try to control the center of the board, as it provides the most flexibility for future moves.
  • Block your opponent from getting four in a row by placing your discs strategically.
  • Create opportunities to get four in a row by dropping discs in a way that sets up a potential win.
  • Pay attention to your opponent’s moves and adjust your strategy accordingly.
