You play the berry; the computer answers with a star. Choose a column and your piece falls to its lowest empty position. Connect four matching pieces before your picnic companion does.

Winning lines can run across, stand upright or climb diagonally. A line of three deserves attention on either side of the board. Sometimes the most useful move is the one that stops an immediate reply.

A rival with simple table manners

The computer first looks for a winning move, then for a line it must block. Otherwise it prefers the centre columns. It plays locally in your browser, with no remote opponent or matchmaking account.

Room beneath the ribbon pavilion

Pieces always fall to the bottom of a column, so an empty square is not necessarily available yet. Think about the support below a future diagonal before placing the berry that might complete it.

Watch the answer your move invites.

Before dropping a berry, inspect the star's nearest line as well as your own. A supported diagonal can become dangerous in a single turn. The numbered columns make every possible drop easy to revisit.

Keep the picnic rules handy

A few useful answers

Berry Picnic Four, explained.

Am I playing someone online?

No. The star's decisions are calculated on this page, without an account or remote player.

Why can I not select a higher empty square?

A piece drops to the lowest free position in its chosen column. It cannot float above an empty space.

Can the computer miss a longer plan?

Yes. It uses immediate winning and blocking moves, then a centre preference; it is not an unbeatable opponent.

A sunset table, ready when you are

A full board without four connected pieces ends in a draw. Whatever the result, another picnic is optional. There are no stakes, prizes or rankings; just a friendly board and a fresh view of the garden.
