About Four in a Row
On a board of six columns and five rows, your child plays red discs and Oomi plays yellow. Each disc drops to the lowest free hole with a little bounce. Four in a line across, up and down or on a slant wins, so kids soon learn to block Oomi as well as build their own line.
How to play
- Tap a column to drop your red disc into it.
- Get four in a line across, up and down or on a slant.
- On a computer, use the arrow keys and Space, or press 1 to 6.
What your child practices
- Planning a move ahead
- Blocking the other player
- Spotting lines and diagonals
- Taking turns
How it grows with your child
YoungAges 6-8
Oomi notices a winning move or a block only about half the time.
Big KidsAges 8-11
Oomi always takes a win or blocks yours, and likes the middle columns.
Play together
Before each drop, ask your child where Oomi would like to play next, and why.
