How to play
The board stands on the table between you: 7 columns, 6 rows. Your discs are solid, the opponent's striped. Who goes first is drawn at random. In turn, drop a disc down a column that isn't full; it falls to the lowest empty hole. Four of yours in a line (across, up and down, or diagonally) wins, and the four flash; a full board with no four is a draw. The opponent always takes a four when it can and blocks yours, and otherwise plays near the middle, but slips up 15% of the time. Points for a win, a few for a draw.
