Connect4

Connect4 is a popular, very easy-to-play board game. The rules are limited and simple.

Connect4 is a two-player connection game, in which the players first choose a color and then take turns dropping colored discs from the top into a seven-column, six-row, vertically suspended grid. The pieces fall straight down, occupying the next available space within the column. The objective of the game is to connect four of one's own discs of the same color next to each other vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, before your opponent connects four of theirs.
