Drop discs, outsmart the robot, line up four
BoardFour in a Row is the classic drop-and-connect duel on a sunny 7 by 6 board. Take on an expressive robot that sharpens every round, chase quick wins and long streaks for a bigger score, or pass the device to a friend for a two-player match.
How to play Four in a Row
- 1Pick Challenge (Easy, Medium or Hard) to face the robot, or 2 players to play a friend on one device.
- 2Tap a column to drop a disc; it falls to the lowest free spot in that column.
- 3Line up four of your discs across, up and down, or diagonally to win the round.
- 4In Challenge, win round after round: quick wins and win streaks score more, a draw pays a little.
- 5One loss ends the run, and the robot gets sharper every round.

Tips to play better
- The middle column takes part in the most lines, so claim it early.
- Look one move ahead: never drop a disc right under a spot where the robot would complete four.
- Build two threats at once; the robot can only block one of them.
- Watch the robot's face: when it looks worried, you probably have a winning move.
