Publisher's Synopsis
If you like Sudoku, you're going to be a slave to Kakuro. Known as Cross Sums in the US and Kakro in Japan, this is the latest seriously addictive game to appear every day in the Daily Mail. Kakuro is similar to Sudoku - you use only the numbers 1-9 and no number can be repeated in the same column or row. But the numbers in the different squares must add up to the sum above and below them. Sounds simple - until you try it!
This is a collection of 150 puzzles, together with a detailed introduction that explains the game and gives hints and tips, including:
- what to look for in the grid to get started – there are clues in every number
- how to combine sums to unlock more difficult puzzles
- how to spot Kakuro Partnerships
- new tricks of ghosting-in
- advanced solving techniques - how to adapt Sudoku methods to tackle the new puzzles!
This is the perfect book to lead you from Sudoku to Kakuro - watch out though, there's no going back!
