- Version 2.02
-
- by Perry Prust
-
- (C) 1993
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 4 WINs is a Windows version of the classic Connect 4(TM) game.
-
- Although the rules are simple and a match is short (compared to Go or
- Chess),"4 WINs" is a fascinating game.
-
-
- Rules of the game:
- ------------------
- Two players put pieces on a 7-by-6-board, which stands upright on the
- longer edge. Both players put alternately a piece of their own colour
- into one of the rows of the board. The piece falls down according to
- gravity. The goal is to get 4 pieces into a line. All directions count
- (horizontal, vertical and diagonal). Who can do this first is the winner.
- If, after 21 moves, nobody has won, the game ends in a draw.
