More Original Sudoku

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Over twenty years ago Nikoli, the Japanese puzzle and game company, started publishing a curious logic puzzle called Sudoku. The rest of the world recently joined the Sudoku craze by using computer programs to create puzzles, but Nikoli is the only company that still crafts their puzzles the old-fashioned way: by hand. As Ad Age wrote in a profile, the Nikoli credo is ÒThe Best Puzzles Are Made by Happy Employees.Ó And for solvers, it really does make a differenceÑthereÕs an elegance and symmetry to the puzzles, plus a sense of interaction. The puzzle-maker knows just when to encourage, and when to withhold. Puzzles marked ÒEasy,Ó are easy because the puzzler leads you through. Those marked ÒVery HardÓ are exactly thatÑthey pit your mind against the mind of the master, who seems to share the joy of that moment when one hard-won number is captured, and the entire puzzle tumbles into place. An obsessiveÕs collection, More Original Sudoku features over 300 puzzles, all in a chunky, easy-to-carry format (it even fits into a standard jeans-size back pocket). An introduction shows how to solve the puzzles at various levels of difficulty, and it includes a tutorial on how to create your own hand-made Sudoku. HereÕs wishing you Gokouun o inorimasu! (Good luck!)

The Original Sudoku Book 2

By: Editors of Nikoli Publishing

“The Best Puzzles Are Made by Happy Employees.” So Ad Age describes the credo of Nikoli, the Japanese puzzle company that invented the Sudoku craze and supplies 100% of the puzzles published in Japanese newspapers and magazines. And when they say “made,” they mean literally handmade—unlike the computer-generated puzzles found in other American Sudoku products. And that's one of the features that makes THE ORIGINAL SUDOKU BOOK 2— and THE ORIGINAL SUDOKU, published between seasons and already with 115,000 copies in print—unique. The books celebrate the compulsive joy of Sudoku with symmetry, smartness, and elegance. They invite you to match wits with the experts, to step into the 81-cell arena with a puzzle maker who has fiendishly anticipated your next step. Fun without frustration. Other features? More all-new puzzles—over 300, arranged from “Easy” to “Very Hard.” The same chunky, easy-to-tote format, because once addicted you will be toting it around everywhere. An informative introduction that shows you how to approach and solve the puzzles. Plus an entirely new idea—an unprecedented tutorial on how to create your very own handmade Sudoku puzzles. The obsession continues.

PictoMazes

Find 72 Hidden Animals!

By: Nikoli Publishing,Kazuyuki Yuzawa

The next big—and challenging!—idea for the adult activity market from Nikoli, the creators of the original Sudoku puzzles and author of Workman’s bestselling Original Sudoku series, with 1.2 million copies in print. So what is a pictomaze? Created by master puzzle maker Kazuyuki Yuzawa (aka “Mr. King,” for how he sits atop the Japanese puzzle maker’s throne), each pictomaze is an intricate maze that, when solved, reveals an image of an animal. It’s a mental workout, requiring a brain-stretching amount of focus and concentration while testing one’s problem-solving ability and short-term memory. And it’s fun! As the line of your pencil twists and turns, a picture of an animal is slowly revealed. There’s a chimpanzee. A tiger chameleon. A great horned owl. A red panda—and more. Once the animal is complete, the puzzle is solved. Now, color in the path to bring the creature to life, and try the next mystery maze. Problem-solving. Surprise. Mindfulness. This entertaining and engaging activity exercises different parts of the brain at once—allowing players to keep their minds sharp, imaginative, and ever curious.

Energize

Juices to Invigorate

By: Hamlyn,Nikoli

Feeling lethargic, irritable, without enthusiasm? Here's the appetizing cure: juices that give some get up and go! Instead of foods that provide a sugar rush followed by a quick letdown, these drinks supply a constant and slow release of sugar throughout the day. A carrot, beetroot, and orange Power Pack packs a real punch, with loads of vitamins A and C, antioxidants and potassium. Kale and Hearty--with spirulina and wheatgrass--is a sure way to become hale and healthy. A carbohydrate-rich mix of apples, mangos, and passion fruit makes up the Energy Bubble, a perfect after-exercise concoction. Or savor the refreshing Liven Up (Galia melon, pineapple, apple), a yummy All Nighter smoothie, and banana-based Round the Clock. Every one fights the downers!
