How to play

You can learn the rules in a couple of minutes. Just 4 steps — and you're ready for your first game.

01

The board

In front of you is a vertical grid of 7 columns by 6 rows. Each player has their own disc color.

02

Your move

Take turns picking a column and dropping a disc into it — it falls to the lowest free cell.

03

The line

Build four of your discs in a row: horizontally, vertically or along any diagonal.

04

Block and win

Block your opponent's rows and create double threats. The first to line up four wins.

About the game

Four in a Row is a fast positional game on a 7×6 grid. Players take turns dropping discs into columns, and each one falls to the lowest free spot. The goal is simple to state but tricky in practice: you need to build a row of four of your own discs while stopping your opponent from doing the same. The key is to create double threats that can't be blocked with a single move. On muta.pro, play with a friend using a room code or against a bot right in your browser.
