4 in a Blow

4 in a Blow keeps the familiar Connect Four goal and adds powers that change how each turn can be used. Tokens still fall through a chosen column, but a charged meter can let you interfere with the board, protect a threat, or create a new opening.

Classic mode stays close to standard play against an AI opponent or a friend. Blast includes the power-up rules, while Wakie is built around a 90-second score attack with changing powers and a Turbo Time finish. Even with these additions, a power cannot win by itself: the deciding move must be a regular token drop.

Click or tap a column to place a token; it falls into the lowest available space.

Make a line of four tokens horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to win.

In Blast and Wakie, each turn fills your power meter, which can activate a board effect when ready.

Spend power to block a column, exchange two tokens, remove one token, or drop twice in succession.

Choose Classic, Blast, or Wakie before playing to use that modes rules.
