Connect 4: how to play

The rules in a minute.

Two players take turns dropping a disc into one of the seven columns. The disc falls to the lowest free space.

The first player to line up four of their discs in a row wins. The row can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. If the board fills up without one, the game is a draw.

On MAK Games, who starts is random. Tap a column (or use the keyboard) to drop your disc; a faded disc shows where it will go.

Practice game

Play a practice game right here, against bots where the game has them (or play every seat yourself). Nothing is saved.
