Connect Four on your phone: line up 4 tokens before your opponent, distinguished by colour AND shape so nobody's colour vision has to guess. Against a bot that doesn't roll over, two-player on the same device, or online with your group.

How to play Connect Four
- Pick your mode: against the computer, two players on the same device, or online with your group.
- Fixed grid, 7 columns by 6 rows. Pick a column: your token drops into the lowest free slot.
- First player to line up 4 tokens — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — wins the game.
- Board full with no alignment: the round ends in a draw.
- On a rematch, the starting player switches automatically — so nobody keeps the first-move advantage for the whole night.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the bot hard to beat?
- It plays for real — wins when it can, blocks otherwise, and never opens the exact same way twice — but it's beatable. This isn't an opponent that plays to punish you.
- How do you tell the tokens apart if colours are hard to distinguish?
- Each side also has its own shape on top of its colour: round versus diamond. Nobody loses because of a poorly calibrated screen.
- Who goes first?
- Configurable at launch, then flipped automatically on every rematch — the first-move advantage keeps moving around, it never stays with the same person.
