Slitherlink & Sudoku [Spiral-bound]

Nikoli (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2008

Slitherink are engaging logic puzzles with some simple rules and four numbers: 0, 1, 2, and 3. They’re Nikoli’s original creations, known as Sli-Lin in Japan, and they provide endless enjoyment. The grid features scattered dots and numbers; connect the dots with a vertical or horizontal line until you’ve created a single loop with no crossings or branches. The trick is that when you reach a number, its value determines how many lines, or “walls” surround it.
For extra solving pleasure, the collection also includes 45 sudoku. Have fun!

This review is from: Slitherlink & Sudoku (Spiral-bound)

I'm a Nikoli addict, I'll admit it. (See my other reviews of the Nikoli ____ & Sudoku books). I bought all of their US-released books, subscribe to their puzzle site, and have even had books shipped from Japan. What I like about these books in particular is the size and binding. These things matter to a puzzle addict. The spiral binding allows you to hold the book more easily, and the book is made with high-quality thick paper (not newsprint like many crossword books). That means you can solve in pen (if you dare!) and not have it show through to the other side, or you can erase without worrying about the paper abrading or ripping. These half-sudoku books are kind of a shame (we Americans have PLENTY of sudoku to choose from), and I wish it had more of the "new" puzzle type.

Slitherlink is one of Nikoli's go-to puzzles. They're actually already here in the US - you might have seen them as "Fences." The rules are pretty straightforward. Each number tells you how many lines must be around it. All lines must connect so that in the end you have a single loop. Unlike some other Nikoli puzzles, these are great to solve on paper. I definitely recommend this book!
