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 :-)

ColorKu is a lot more fun than the classic numerical form of Sudoku --
I'm hooked on it! LOTS of puzzles are included with the game, along with
instructions on how to convert any regular Sudoku puzzle into this color
version. I'm a senior citizen, but my grandchildren love it, too!

I was introduced to this game by my sister who uses it in a classroom for high school children with learning disabilities. I have an acquired brain injury and am always looking to stimulate my thinking. Although, I thought sudoku puzzles were to hard and i would never be able to do this. The coloku has cards to set up games with in levels from easy to exteme. My daughter, who is a math teacher can do the extreme. Needless to say I can't. The whole family can play as well. I am hooked on colorku.

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!

I have to agree with all of the reviewers. This is a terrific twist on conventional sudoku. It occupies a treasured place on my coffee table in front of the TV. The game appeals to all ages and is an instant magnet to visitors and family alike. I find my kids play it while watching TV or just hanging out. All my daughter's friends can't resist it when they come over to visit. The balls certainly will roll all over the floor if dumped so a bowl or something is helpful, and yes, they can be swallowed by young children, so you can't leave it around if anyone is at that particular oral stage.

I like this even better than traditional Sudoku - my husband and I have been playing together instead of watching TV. It's a great game. Balls are a little difficult to get out of the plastic holder, but at least they're not rolling off somewhere.

This game was bought for our 7-year-old (by her request) but we are ALL addicted to it in our house. It's fun, challenging, and well-made. There are many different levels of difficulty for the puzzle cards provided -- and there are over 100 puzzles included. Definitely one of my favorite purchases for this Christmas!
