How to play Connect Four

Be the first to line up four of your discs — across, down or diagonally.

Setup

  • The grid has 7 columns and 6 rows and starts empty.
  • Red always drops first. Who plays Red is drawn at random for each game, because the first player has an advantage.

Playing

  • On your turn, drop one disc into any column that isn't full. It falls to the lowest empty space.
  • Players alternate; you can't pass.

Winning

  • Four of your discs in a row — horizontally, vertically or diagonally — wins immediately.
  • If all 42 spaces fill with no four in a row, the game is a draw (the service fee still applies to staked games).
  • 2 minutes plus 3 seconds per move. Running out of time loses the game.

Rule set: Standard Connect Four (7 columns × 6 rows).
