Peg Four

How to play

Peg Four is four-in-a-row with a twist. Instead of choosing a column directly, you aim your disc over a wall of pegs and drop it. The disc bounces through the pegs, and the slot it lands in decides its column on the grid, so where it ends up is partly up to chance.

Aim left or right with the arrow buttons or keys, then press Drop. Mouse and touch work too. Esc or P pauses and M mutes.

Goal

Get four of your discs in a row before your opponent does. Play against the house, or take turns with a friend on the same screen. The first to win three games takes the series.

Tips

• The peg layout changes every match, so the obvious lane can lie: watch where the first drops actually land.
• Because the bounce is partly random, keep more than one line open instead of relying on a single column.
• Keep an eye on your opponent's lines too: blocking a three is often worth more than starting a new one.
