5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Rubik taught me how to play Sudoku, January 5, 2007

I have been wanted a non-electronic non-paper Sudoku game for some time. Rubik's Sudoku is a self contained single player game board. I can move it from room to room without the playing pieces moving from where I have placed them on the board. There is one extra piece for each number/color tile included. With the color coding it is easy to learn the strategy behind Sudoku. I was not picking it up very fast when I tried the paper versions. After I progress through the 100 puzzles included with this game I'll use the game board and pieces with the Sudoku magazine I have. For the cost I would recommend this over the more expensive wood versions. If cost is not an issue then you might go for one of the more durable all wood versions that Amazon has.

Rubik's Sudoku is well thought out and makes it possible for people who feel they are number or math-challenged to enjoy a measure of mastery and accomplishment through this game. The addition of color patterns provides an important 3rd dimension to Sudoku. A storage drawer in the base keeps the instructions and spare parts from being scattered. The swing-open clear plastic lid provides a space to organize the tiles before you have figured out where they go in each game. The tiles have a tab that inserts into a slot to keep them firmly in place, yet easy to move when you discover you weren't thinking clearly. And it is addictive!

I've enjoyed Rubik's Sudoku every morning since Christmas. It's near perfect. I would change just two things:
I'd include more of the marker pieces (I'm always at least one short), and I'd use some color other than midnight blue because it doesn't show up on the black gameboard. Unlike the AD photo, my game pieces don't have painted numbers, so the blue ones are nearly invisible. I like that the pieces are double-sided with a different style of number on the reverse side. You can use one side for the pre-determined numbers, and the reverse for the numbers you fill in. If you goof up and have to back-track, you know which pieces to leave on the board. The book with the pre-determined numbers have plenty of puzzles - I haven't had to repeat a puzzle yet. You can also set up the board using puzzles from the newspaper or any puzzle magazine. I would recommend this set to anyone who enjoys Sudoku.
