Chaos Four is four in a row with a chaotic twist. Every turn, there is a small chance that you might have to play a mini-game: coin flip, trivia, math, a tiny bird game, and a bunch of others. If you lose the mini-game, one of your discs, selected randomly, is deleted. Gravity is applied, win conditions are checked, and the game continues. This game mechanic is the Chaos. Four in a row is a solved game. This means that if both players play a perfect game, a win is guaranteed to the first player. Chaos Four is not a solved game. This is due to the Chaos. Even the Hard Bot, which plays a perfect game, can lose. So can you. Free to download, no ads. Play with a friend, or against the Bot.
