Connect Four takes the classic disk-dropping showdown and cranks up the tension with a ticking 60-second clock. Your goal is simple: line up four of your colored discs vertically, horizontally, or diagonally before the timer hits zero. If neither player manages it in time, you both lose—that extra urgency makes every turn feel like a gamble. Want to ease in? Stick with the iconic 7×6 board. Feeling bold? Kick it up a notch with 9×7 or 9×8. You can face a crafty computer opponent or compete with a friend in two-player mode. Despite the easy-to-grasp rules, it’ll take strategy and foresight to outmaneuver your rival, especially when the seconds are slipping away. Drop a piece at just the right moment, and you might secure that winning row. Forget stalling—every move counts when the clock’s ticking. The tone is shaped to feel relaxed and human from start to finish.
