How to Play Connect Four: A Guide for Beginners

Connect Four is a popular two-player connection game where the objective is to be the first to form a line of four consecutive discs. This can be achieved horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Players alternate turns, dropping colored discs from the top into a seven-column, six-row vertically suspended grid, where they occupy the lowest available space.

Getting Started with Connect Four

Start by choosing your color and understanding the grid layout. Each player gets a set of discs (commonly red and yellow) and takes turns placing them into the columns.

Strategies to Win at Connect Four

Develop your strategy by anticipating your opponent’s moves and blocking them while building your four-disc line. Always aim to create multiple opportunities where a single disc placement can form multiple lines.

Rules of Connect Four

The game ends when a player forms a straight line of four discs or if all slots are filled, resulting in a draw if no one has completed a line.

Enjoying Connect Four

Connect Four is easy to learn but challenging to master, making it a perfect game for all ages. Whether you’re playing casually or competitively, the game tests your foresight and tactical skills.
