About 4 in a Blow

4 in a Blow is Connect 4 with power-ups. Everyone already knows the rules, so you can start playing immediately. Every turn charges up your power meter — spend it to block a column, swap two tokens, remove a token, or drop twice in a row. The one rule that keeps it fair: a power can never win the game on its own. It can only set up or defend a win, so the final move is always a normal drop. Play Classic for pure Connect 4 against AI or a friend, Blast for the full power-up experience, or Wakie for a fast 90-second score-attack mode with rotating powers and a Turbo Time finish. Simple to learn, hard to see coming.
