Connect 4

A two-player classic. Take turns dropping red and yellow discs into a seven-column grid. The first player to connect four in a row, across, up and down, or diagonally, wins. Grab a seat, share the link with a friend, and let everyone else watch and cheer.

2 players, spectators welcome

Start a lobby

You'll sit as Red. Share the lobby link so a friend can take Yellow.

Turn off the public list to keep it link-only. Share the lobby link and friends can watch or chat.

Open Connect 4 lobbies

Jump into a lobby that's already running.

How to play

  1. Two players sit down: Red and Yellow. Everyone else in the lobby can watch and chat.
  2. Take turns choosing a column. Your disc falls to the lowest open space.
  3. Connect four of your discs in a row, across, up and down, or diagonally, to win.
  4. If the board fills up with no four in a row, the game is a draw.
  5. After a game either player can start a rematch. Whoever went second goes first next time.
