Play the game "Connect-Four" against Alexa. Alternating each player throws a coloured disc into one of the seven slots. The player who connects four discs in a row (horizontally, verically or diagonal) has won.
this skill was optimized for the display of the Echo Show and Echo Spot. The game board is shown on the Echo Show and Echo Spot.
But you can play this skill also on devices without a display. Just open the website https://calcbox.de and establish a connection with your device.
The following commands can be used during the game:
* "I throw into slot ..." (1-7) * "You may start" * "Start a new game" * "Change the playing skill level to ..." (1-7) * "Help" * "Stop" * "Change Display Settings"
After you have made your move, Alexa is making her move and awaits your next move as an answer . The time, Alexa waits four your answer, is short (about 8 seconds).
But never mind, the game board is still shown on the display. If you want to make your move, you have to add the activation word (Alexa/Echo/Computer/Amazon), e.g. "Alexa, Slot 4" and the game continues.
If you wait even longer, also the game board is not shown any more. But as soon as you restart the skill with "Alexa, start Connect-Four" the game board is shown again at the point you left the game.
If a game is not continued after 4 hours it will be quitted automatically.
