The main goal is simple: drop your colored token into any column and try to connect 4 tokens of your color in a straight line. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Players take turns dropping one token per turn. The first player to make a line of 4 wins. If all slots fill without a 4 in a row, the game ends in a draw.
