Four in a Row
Let discs fall into a seven-column grid and be the first to make a line of four, sideways, upright or diagonal. Face the computer at one of three levels, or a friend at the same screen.

How to play
Tap a column and your disc falls to the lowest free space there. After that it is your opponent’s turn.
Make a line of four of your own discs, across, up or diagonally, before the other side manages it. Keep an eye on their threes as well as yours.
“Take back” reverses your last move and the computer’s answer. If you change the level or who starts, a new game begins.
A tip
The centre column belongs to more possible fours than any other, which makes it a sound opening choice.
Seek a move that creates two threats together; your opponent can stop only one.
