Sudoku Challenge (2006)

About this game

In Sudoku Challenge, players take on their friends in this head-to-head version of a modern-day classic. Or, enjoy some addicting "brain food" as you sharpen your skills as a single player. Serious fun for one to four players. Also in the box comes the bonus game Zoodoku: Both kids and adults will be hooked on logic when they play Zoodoku. This game variation of Sudoku Challenge features colorful animals native to Japan in place of numbers.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
