FIRE PÅ RAD

Four in a row beats everything.

The frame on the kitchen table and the clatter of discs at the end of every game. FIRE PÅ RAD is red against yellow, seven columns, six deep. Tap a column on your phone and the disc drops; four in a line in any direction wins. The frame lies on its side across the table, so both ends see it the same way round.

The diagonal.

Red against yellow. The frame lies on its side, the floor on the left, gravity running across the glass between the two ends. The last disc is ringed, and the winning four pulse.

Real gameplay, straight off the table's screen.

Seven columns. Six deep.

The rules fit on a napkin. Drop a disc in a column and it falls to the lowest empty place. Four of one colour in a line wins at once: across, up, or along either diagonal. A full board with no four is a draw. Red always drops first.

Stand the frame up between two people and one of them sees it upside down. So here it lies on its side: the floor on the left, column numbers printed once for each end, and both of you reading it the same way. Your phone shows it upright, as it would stand on a kitchen table.
