## What is Golden Four?

Golden Four is a simple but surprisingly deep strategy game inspired by the classic four-in-a-row board game.

Play face to face nearby with two devices, or enjoy quick matches on a single device. Drop pieces, plan ahead, create traps, and block your opponent before it’s too late.

Features:
• Nearby two-device multiplayer
• Single-device mode
• Smooth piece-dropping gameplay
• Automatic next-round flow
• Fast to learn, rewarding to master
• Clean and distraction-free design

Whether you are playing with family, friends, or teaching kids strategic thinking, every move matters.
