About this game

Choose a difficulty, then pick a column on each turn. Discs fall to the lowest empty slot, and the first to connect four vertically, horizontally or diagonally wins. The opening is about claiming useful columns; the endgame is about seeing threats one move before your opponent does.

Libre Arcade’s adaptation groups 23 computer players into six strength levels. In Technical mode you can also pick individual opponents and compare how they play the same game.
