Description:

Game Setup: The game is played on a 6x7 grid, vertically standing. Each player has discs of a specific color (traditionally red and yellow) that they drop into the columns of the grid.

Objective: Players take turns dropping their discs into any column, causing the discs to fall to the lowest available position within that column. The goal is to create a line of four of your discs in a row (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally) before your opponent does.

Strategy: Players aim to build their own line of four discs while simultaneously blocking their opponent from achieving the same. The game involves strategic planning to both create opportunities for your own winning line and block the opponent's attempts.

Winning: The game ends when a player successfully aligns four of their discs in a row. This can be achieved vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. If the grid fills up without either player achieving a line of four, the game is a draw.

Instructions:

Turns: Players take turns placing their colored discs into the columns. Choose a column by selecting the topmost open space in the desired column where your disc will drop.

Strategy: Strategically place your discs to create a line of four in a row while also blocking your opponent from achieving the same. Pay attention to potential winning positions and areas to block the opponent.

Vertical Dropping: Discs are dropped into the top of a column and fall to the lowest available space. Plan your moves to create a sequence of discs that align vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

Achieving Four in a Row: The first player to successfully align four of their discs in a row wins the game. This can be achieved vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

Game Over: If the grid fills up without either player achieving a line of four, the game ends in a draw.
