I showed the game to Hubby and he was hooked, too. But I'm so hooked that I can't pass a blank Sudoku puzzle without solving it. CAN'T. I am absolutely compelled to play it until its completely solved. I can't even let Hubby play Sudoku in my prescence because I will try to play over his shoulder.
It gets worse. Much, much worse. I found a new pastime.
Kakuro.
A Kakuro consists of a playing area of filled and empty cells similar to a crossword puzzle. Some black cells contain a diagonal slash from top left to bottom right with numbers in them, called “the clues”. A number in the top right corner relates to an “across” clue and one in the bottom left a “down” clue.
The object of a Kakuro is to insert digits from 1-9 into the white cells to total the clue associated with it. However no digit can be duplicated in an entry. For example the total 6 you could have 1 & 5, 2 & 4 but not 3 & 3. Sound simple? Be warned it gets hard and is as addictive as Sudoku.
The above description says it pretty well (from here).
This is twice as fun and addictive as Sudoku. I recommend it. BUT you have been warned.
If you have the conojes, then give it a try.
(don't worry, bird brain, the link is a sample of easy level Kakuro)
