Play Four in a Row online – free, with friends or against a bot
Four in a Row is the drop-a-chip game every kitchen table knows. Gravity does half the work, which is exactly what makes it sharp: the square you want is often the one that hands your opponent the square above it. Board Bash plays the standard seven-column board against a friend or a bot.
How to play Four in a Row
The board is seven columns wide and six rows tall, and it starts empty.
On your turn you choose a column. Your chip falls to the lowest free square in it — you never place a chip directly.
A column that is already full cannot be played.
Four of your chips in a line — horizontal, vertical or diagonal — wins the game at once.
If all forty-two squares fill with nobody making four, the game is a draw.
Frequently asked questions
How big is the board?
Seven columns by six rows, the standard size. The first player has a theoretical win with perfect play, so swap who starts between games.
Can I play against the computer?
Yes. Choose "Computer" and one of four levels — Rookie, Casual, Veteran or Grandmaster — when you create the game.
Can two of us play on one phone?
Yes. Pick "Same device" when you create the game and pass the phone back and forth. No second account and no second device needed.
