This game is remarkably better than the numerical version of Sudoku. The maker’s clever use of color variations (rather than traditional numerical distinctions) makes it more accessible to those who can, at times, fall among the numerically “challenged,” even as it provides a completely new challenge to advanced players who may be approaching complacent proficiency with the more traditional numerical version of the game. I was impressed (and surprised, given the price) by the beauty of the wooden board and the tasteful colors of the wooden spheres. Puzzle cards are used to create ranges of difficulty from easy to challenging to “really tough” and they are easy to use. Kudos to the creators of this delightful game, which is also a handsome coffee table accessory.

This is a great game for childen 6 and over as well as adults. It’s fun; it’s addictive. My adult friends and my grandchildren love it so it sits out on my coffee table for anyone to use. The game is very well designed, attractive and sturdy. My only caution is the colored balls are small and a potential choking hazard for small children and small animals; I strongly recommend that it not be left within their reach and be well supervised when in use. Also, it’s a good idea to provide a small bowl to hold the game balls while the game is being played because they easily roll off the table. Sudoku is a one person game usually but this format easily lends itself to two players who want to work together to solve the same puzzle. This game is now at the top of my gift list along with Rush Hour.Rush Hour

Super logic game for all ages – Grandpa, dad, and grandson all just love it — you can play solo or duet (take turns trying to make a play).
Good antidote for kids who are glued to their gameboy. It’s sudoku for both left and right-brained folks — numbers are good for left-brainers, but the colors are better for others.

Sukoku is absolutely fun and addicting especially in color. This is a great idea but I had to actually paint over some of the colors to make them more distinguishable. Some of the colors were just too close in similarity and that made it difficult to play. For instance the red and orange were very close (I mean very) and so are the dark blue and dark green. Perhaps my vision isn’t as great as everyone else’s – LOL!! Anyhow, I quickly remedied the problem by painting the orange and dark blue balls! Other than that I just love it

My 11 year old niece received this for Christmas. We had so much fun playing with it; and it was nice to see strategy she used compared to mine. I bought two, one for me and one for my friends at a Real Estate Office to put in the conference room where people usually wait 30 minutes. At my birthday party, we had 12 different people fighting over who could study and play!
