Take turns dropping discs into the columns — they fall to the lowest free slot. Line up four of your own across, down or diagonally to win. Play the classic seven-by-six board, a quick three-in-a-row, or the long game where it takes five.

The same walkthrough the table opens with — you can replay it in the game at any time.
You play the red discs, the opponent plays gold. Pick a column and your disc falls to the lowest free slot in it.
Tap any column that isn't full. Four of yours in a line — across, down or on a diagonal — wins the game.
Every drop also builds a platform for the other player. Count their threats before your own: an unanswered three-in-a-row with an open end is already lost.
The centre column touches the most lines, so it is worth more than the edges. Fill the board with nobody lined up and it's a draw.
