The Rules of Score4

Object of the Game

On a 4x4 grid of pegs, two players alternate dropping their pieces from the top of a peg, down a column, attempting to form four in a row in any direction.

Movement Rules

On your turn, you drop a piece of your colour down any peg that is not "full". The piece will drop and stop either at the bottom of the column or on just above the topmost piece in that column.
