Instructions

Download and print your Four in a Row board (a grid of columns and rows).

Each player chooses a color or symbol (for example, X’s and O’s, or colored markers).
Players take turns marking one empty space on the board each turn.
The goal is to be the first to connect four of your marks in a row—vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
If the board fills up with no four-in-a-row, it’s a tie.

Simple, portable, and great for quick rounds of fun!
