Connect 4 is a fun and strategic game that is easy to learn but can provide hours of entertainment. Here is how to play:

Objective

The goal of Connect 4 is to be the first player to form a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of four of one's own discs.

Setup

  1. Players: The game is for two players.

  2. Board: The board consists of a grid with 7 columns and 6 rows.

  3. Discs: Each player has a set of 21 discs, with one player using red discs and the other using yellow discs.

How to Play

  1. Starting the Game: Decide who goes first.

  2. Taking Turns: Players take turns dropping one of their discs from the top into any of the columns. The disc falls straight down, occupying the lowest available space within the column.

  3. Winning the Game: The first player to align four of their discs in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) wins the game.

  4. Draw: If the board is completely filled with discs and neither player has four in a row, the game is a draw.

Strategies

  • Block Opponent: Always keep an eye on your opponent's moves to block them from getting four in a row.

  • Create Multiple Threats: Try to create situations where you have multiple ways to win on your next turn.

  • Control the Center: Controlling the center columns gives you more opportunities to connect four vertically and diagonally.
