4 in a Blow
About 4 in a Blow
Connect Four with power-ups: block a column, swap tokens or drop twice in a row.
Tips for a quick round
This is Connect Four with a power meter that fills every turn. Start in Classic mode to warm up, then try Blast. Save a power-up for defense: blocking the column your opponent needs is often worth more than an extra drop. Remember that a power-up can never win the game by itself, so set up two threats at once and let a normal drop finish it. The center column touches the most lines, so take it early. Two players can share one screen, which makes it a good pick for a break with a friend.
How to play
Click or tap a column to drop a token. Line up four in a row to win. In Blast mode, spend your full power meter on a power-up.
