How to play

  1. Choose one of seven columns. Your disc falls to the lowest empty space in that column.
  2. Connect four discs horizontally, vertically or diagonally before your opponent. Mint moves first.
  3. Full columns cannot be used. A full board without four connected discs is a draw.

AI or a friend?

Choose local AI with three search levels, or two players sharing one device. Changing mode or level starts a fresh game. Select a space, then confirm your move. There are no online rooms.

A small head start

  • Central columns can contribute to more connecting lines.
  • Block an immediate three-disc threat before building a slower plan.
  • Remember that a diagonal winning space may need supporting discs below it.
