Four in a Row - Play Online for Free! | Poki Game

Four in a Row is the classic disc-drop strategy game: two players, one vertical grid, and a simple goal — get four of your own color in a line before your opponent does. There's no luck involved, just reading the board and thinking a few moves ahead.

You play as red or yellow, taking turns dropping a disc into any open column and watching it fall to the lowest empty slot. A line can run horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and the tension usually comes from blocking one threat while quietly setting up your own. Play against a friend on the same screen, or take on the computer.

Controls

Click or tap the column where you want to drop your disc — no keyboard needed.

Tips

• Building through the center column gives you more ways to connect four than starting on an edge.
• Before you drop a disc, check whether it hands your opponent a winning move on top of it.
• Watch for double threats — two different ways to win at once are much harder for your opponent to block than one.

A quick, low-pressure pick for a short head-to-head match, whether that's against the computer or someone sitting next to you.
