Are you feeling nostalgic about the traditional games that you have been playing when you were a kid? Do remember having fun with friends and playing the game Connect 4? Perhaps, you could again enjoy this game even when you are away from friends because it is now available online and can be accessed anywhere and anytime through your mobile phone.

This game has become very popular among children and adult alike. And just like the traditional game, its online version has practically the same rules and objective. In the game, two players will be playing against each other. They will be given two different sets of discs with different colors in order to be able to identify whose disc belongs to who.

Once the game begins, the players will alternately drop their discs into the vertically suspended grid. It is said that the player who drops their disc first has a greater chance of winning. That is why most players would grab the chance to be able to have the first drop. Perhaps, this may be true in some way, but it does not definitely define the game. As long as both players play according to their strategy, then both will have a fair chance of winning.

Winning the game entails that the players be able to complete a set of four discs in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal manner. The player who is able to achieve either of those first will then be declared as the winner.

The game is a two-player connection game. It is widely popular by other names such as Captain’s Mistress, Four Up, Plot Four, Find Four, Four in a Row, Four in a Line and Gravities. These different names are used in different countries where this game is popularly played. Although this game is called differently, the rules are basically the same. This game is played between two players wherein they are to choose a color first. This means that player one has a different color from player two.

As the game begins, the two players will then take turns in dropping their colored discs into a seven-column, six-row vertically suspended grid. The main objective in playing the game is for a player to be able to be the first to form a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line of four of their own discs.

When playing this game, it is very important that the player takes note of their moves as well as the moves of their opponent so that they can effectively put on a strategy that can be very beneficial in winning the game.

It has also been known that the game is a solved game and that the first player has the biggest chance of winning as long as they play the right moves. But nonetheless, both players always have a chance of winning as long as they can effectively outsmart one another. Indeed, this game is perfect to stir your minds.
