![]() ![]() When the timer runs out, turn it over and the next player continues solving the puzzle, placing coloured number disks (with THEIR colour up) on the board as they work out numbers. (You can decide on 2 minute turns if you want). The first player now has one minute to place any number disks - with their colour facing up - that they think are correct. HOW TO PLAY THE BOARD GAMEĭecide who will go first by mutual consent. To start each puzzle the "set-up" numbers are shown on the cards. Also in each Column you must place the numbers 1 to 9 and in each Row you must place the numbers 1 to 9 once each. In each 3X3 mini-grid you must place the numbers 1 to 9 once each. The puzzle shows a 9X9 grid, split into 9 mini-grids each of which is 3X3. The third and last time a player "buys" bonus numbers they use the bottom third of the set-up grid. The next player to "buy" 3 bonus numbers uses those across the middle third of the set-up grid. Read off the three 3 bonus numbers and use your coloured number disks to put them on the plastic board. You will see the top row of 3X3 mini-grids. Put the filter window over the top third of the EASY grid on the puzzle card. If play is slowing down or stalling, either player can forego a turn to "buy" a row of these extra numbers. ![]() On the EASY set-up grid there is one extra obscured number in each 3X3 "mini-grid" of the board. If one player is much better than the other, put the MEDIUM set-up numbers on the plastic board, then pass the card to the less experienced player who can use the additional numbers in the EASY set-up grid without showing them to their opponent. Use the green number disks to put the starter numbers from the card into the corresponding spots in the board.įold up the cardboard filter sleeve (the cut and creased card with the long narrow slot in it) then slip the red filter into it. Place all 81 double sided (blue and red backed) number disks on the table by the board along with the timer. If it is the MEDIUM, slide the EASY half of the card under the side of the board to hide the extra numbers. Lay out the plastic board and select a single card from the pack on which you will see the set-up grid of numbers to start the game.ĭecide if you are going to use the EASY or MEDIUM set-up. This game is a fun way to enjoy Sudoku with a friend - good luck and good Sudoku-ing! SETTING UP If you use this game board and its disks as a "large print" way of solving Sudoku puzzles from my book, you CAN write number notes on the white board in HB pencil then rub them off with a rubber after each game. These rules do give a very brief outline of what you are meant to do with Sudoku puzzles, but they are not meant to be an in-depth lesson. You will also know how to play Sudoku - and hopefully, be pretty good at it by now. If you have read my book, "How to do Sudoku" (Ebury Press) you will know all about how I became an addict. I am Carol Vorderman and I admit I have a Sudoku "habit". ![]()
