'''4 in a Row''' is a wormy adaptation of the real life board game [[w:Connect Four|Connect Four]] (known as 4 in a Row). The gameplay is exactly the same (most people around the globe should know how to play), so it is played 1 vs. 1 on a standard board with 7 columns x 6 rows. Each one has 21 [[Girder|girders]] to cover the 42 free spaces. The first to form a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line with 4 girders is the winner.

== Rules ==
* The goal is to be the first to form either a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of 4 of one's own girders.
* Use always the same style of girders, regarding with your initial designation as Player 1 (vertical girder) or Player 2 (horizontal girder).
* In every turn (don't skip), put the girders straight down and go upwards, occupying the available space within any column.
* If both players spent all their 21 girders without reaching the goal, it means draw.

== Variants ==
''Creative modifications of the scheme.''

=== Gomoku (5 in a Row) ===
''Main Article: [[Gomoku (5 in a Row)]]''

This variant is a wormy adaptation of the real life board game [[w:Gomoku|Gomoku]] (known as 5 in a Row).

The challenge is to make "5 In A Row" using a major board with 361 intersections (19x19). The differences from 4 in a Row are: it's permitted to put the pieces anywhere, and overlines doesn't count as victory (no more than 5 pieces must form the winning line).

== History ==
On 2nd February 2017, [[User:Sbs|sbs]] released the [https://www.wmdb.org/31568 original map] along with the scheme on [[WMDB]].
