The best puzzle book ever!

This book will keep you entertained for days! Besides the Sudoku puzzles, you will greatly enjoy the Bridges (also known as Hashi) and Slitherlink. I've been searching everywhere for more Slitherlink puzzles because they are fantastic! Buy this book, you will not be dissapointed!

Sudoku, Bridges, and Slitherlink

There are a lot of Su Doku book on the market but most of them are aimed at the beginner and novice. I have had a hard time finding harder puzzles. This book has some. Most of this book is taken up with the familiar 9X9 grid su doku puzzles but there are two other types of puzzles as well. Second is a puzzle called bridges. Numbered circles represent islands and the number is the number of bridges that connect tit to surrounding island. Like su doku, a simple set of rules drives the logic for finding the unique solution. The final puzzle is slitherlink. A matrix has numbers that represent how many of the sides of its cell will be filled in. The object is to satisfy all of the numbers and complete a continuous loop. A good book if you are looking for something a little different or just want puzzles that are a little more challenging than what most of the other books are offering.

From the Board Games Editor at BellaOnline.com

This book is for serious sudoku-ers only! The puzzles are more difficult than those you'd expect from the sudoku books already on the market, but definitely as much, if not more, fun! If you're looking for a gift for your favorite puzzle fan, grab this book. It's pretty new, so chances are, they won't have it.
