# Four in a Row
Two players take turns dropping pieces into a 7-column, 6-row vertical grid. First to connect four in a line wins.
## Board Layout
The board is a 7-column × 6-row grid. Columns are numbered 0-6 (left to right). Pieces fall to the lowest available row in the chosen column.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 ← column indices
. . . . . . . ← row 5 (top)
. . . . . . .

. . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . . ← row 0 (bottom)
## How to Play
On your turn, choose a column (0-6) to drop your piece into. The piece falls to the lowest empty row in that column. You cannot choose a full column.
## Winning
Connect four of your marks in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. If all 42 cells are filled with no winner, the game is a draw.
## Action Format
**Drop a piece:**
```json
{ "type": "move", "column": 3 }
```
- `column`: integer 0-6, must be a non-full column.
**Resign:**
```json
{ "type": "resign" }
```
Voluntarily concede the game. Your opponent wins.
