How to play Connect 4

The game is played on a vertical grid consisting of six rows and seven columns, making a total of 42 empty cells.
Each player chooses a color, traditionally red or yellow, and takes turns dropping one of their colored discs onto any of the seven columns.

The disk will reduce to the lowest available space in the selected column.
Players take turns, each player strategically trying to position his or her plate to block the opponent's advance while aiming to create their own four-disc line.

The game continues until one player successfully connects four discs horizontally, vertically or diagonally, or until the entire grid is filled with discs, resulting in a tie.

Connect 4 requires strategic thinking and advance planning, as players must anticipate the opponent's moves and adjust their own strategies accordingly. This is a game of skill and strategy that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
