History & origins
The vertical four-in-a-row format became widely known through Connect Four, sold by Milton Bradley in 1974.
It adapts the older alignment-game idea to a standing grid, where gravity restricts each new disc to the lowest free position.
That small change creates threats across rows, columns and diagonals. Jawna’s Four in a Row is part of this familiar modern alignment tradition.
