About 4 in a Blow

4 in a Blow is Connect 4 with power-ups. Everyone knows the rules: drop tokens and line up four in a row. Here, every turn also charges a power meter you can spend to block a column, swap two tokens, remove one or drop twice. A power can never win the game by itself, so the winning move is always a normal drop. Play Classic, Blast or the 90-second Wakie mode against the computer or a friend.
