4 En Raya adapts the classic board game of connecting four pieces in a row into arcade format, a genre that circulated widely in arcades across Spain and Latin America under different names and boards. The approach is the usual one: think a step ahead of your opponent, block them, and don't lose out of carelessness. It's a modest game, built for short matches against another player or the machine, closer to a bar cabinet than an action arcade. Its interest today is mostly curatorial: a testament to how the arcade circuit also absorbed traditional board games.
