⚙️ Details

🎮 How to play Four in a Row

Players take turns dropping one of their colored discs (e.g., red or yellow) into a 7-column, 6-row grid. The disc falls to the lowest available position within that column. The first player to successfully connect four of their own discs in an unbroken line wins. In Four in a Row unblocked, you can play against an AI opponent or a friend on the same computer.

💡 Tips and Tricks for Four in a Row

Control the center column; it offers the most potential winning lines (vertical, horizontal, and both diagonals). Always block your opponent’s three-in-a-row. Look for ‘fork’ opportunities, where you create two different ‘three-in-a-row’ threats at the same time, forcing your opponent to block only one.

Think ahead. Do not just play a move; think about what your opponent will do next.
Look for ‘threats’ on the bottom row first.
Do not play directly under your opponent’s winning move if you can help it.

❓ FAQ

How do you always win at Four in a Row?

You cannot ‘always’ win, especially if your opponent plays perfectly. However, the player who goes first has a slight advantage. The best strategy is to control the center, create multiple threats, and never let your opponent get three in a row.

Is this game good for unblocked play?

It’s perfect. It’s quick, simple, and provides a great mental challenge. It’s a classic strategy game, unlike the fast-paced physics of A Small World Cup.
