Book Description

December 27, 2005
HOW TO PLAY KAKURO AND SUCCEED!

Kakuro is a Japanese game of logic -- and the next big puzzle craze to sweep the world since Su Doku. Like Su Doku, Kakuro is played on grids of varying sizes, using the numbers 1 to 9, and like Su Doku, Kakuro is absorbing, addictive, and utterly compelling. Combining numbers and logic, and with the interconnectedness of a crossword puzzle, this is a game for everyone -- all you need is the ability to add two numbers together.

The Essential Book of Kakuro contains full instructions to the game, along with hints, tips, and invaluable number-combination tables, as well as more than 100 original puzzles for beginners to experts (and their solutions).

If you like Su Doku, then you are certain to fall under the spell of the endlessly diverting, uniquely challenging Kakuro!

3.0 out of 5 stars Kakuro, February 17, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Essential Book of Kakuro: And How to Solve It (Paperback)
Good basic book of Kakuo puzzles with helpful clues for up to 6 out of a possible 9 number sequences. Five levels of puzzles do not get past the intermediate level of difficulty. Good for a beginner.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT waste your money, February 11, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Essential Book of Kakuro: And How to Solve It (Paperback)
This is the worst book of kakuro I've ever done. In fact, I didn't even finish it, threw it away, which I've never done before. There are not always unique solutions and the format is sloppy.
