Setup
Place the vertical grid board (7 columns, 6 rows). Two players choose a color (red or yellow). The board starts empty. Decide who goes first.
How to Play
- On your turn, drop one of your colored discs into any column.
- The disc falls to the lowest empty row in that column.
- The goal is to get 4 of your discs in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
- If the board fills up without a winner, the game is a draw.
- Players take turns until someone wins or the board is full.
- You cannot place a disc in a full column.
- The game is simple and fast (usually 2-5 minutes).
Winning the Game
The first player to connect 4 of their discs in a row wins. There is no point scoring.
