in this game i have no idea whats what! There are 3 dragons who sit there but have playing history but when they play they have no time limit? Are these 3 dragon players AI? I truly dont know how to play anyone in four in a row. Can someone give me some info on how to play correctly and how does the timer work for games? Seems pretty fast you have to move.

Hi ithinkiam, As you correctly mentioned, the Dragon players are bots: Baby Dragon, Little Dragon, and Big Dragon. Because of that, they don't have a time limit, they don't really need one, since they make their moves almost instantly. Human players have 5 minutes in total, with a maximum of 1 minute per move. In practice, that's usually plenty of time, but if you're new to the game, it's completely understandable that it can feel a bit short at first. I'd recommend starting by playing only against Baby Dragon, as it's the easiest of the three. Once you get more comfortable with the game and the time controls, you can move on to the other Dragons and eventually play against human opponents. Also, keep in mind that each Dragon uses a slightly different format: - Baby Dragon: 7×6 board, Classic mode. - Little Dragon: 7×6 board, PopOut mode. - Big Dragon: 8×7 board, Classic mode. It also requires you to play two games, one as Red and one as Blue. If you have any other questions, you can check the official rules here:

Or, of course, feel free to ask on the forum. Best regards!

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I understand about the dragons as it seems like practice starting with level 1 and working your way up to level 3. But these bots wont let you win but I understand its practice. So as I asked it is ok to challenge these dragons and practice? Sorry for the delay in my answer but I cant be here everyday maybe 1 or 2 times a month. I will try again at the games thanks again for the info and your time.
Of course, you can play against them whenever you want, and you can gain or lose rating points just like when playing against human players. Treat them like regular opponents, and don’t underestimate the dragons, sometimes they can be more dangerous than many human players! 😄 Have fun!
