Four in a Row
Drop discs into a seven-column grid and be first to line up four, across, down or on a diagonal. Play the computer on three levels, or a friend on the same screen.

How to play
Tap a column and your disc drops to the lowest empty space in it. Then it is the other side’s turn.
Line up four of your discs in a row, a column or a diagonal before the other side does. Watch for their threes as well as your own.
“Take back” undoes your last move and the computer’s reply. Change level or who goes first at any time; it starts a fresh game.
A tip
The middle column is part of more winning lines than any other, so it is a good place to start.
Look for a move that makes two threats at once; the other side can only block one of them.
