Kakuro Challenge
Kakuro is the successor
of Sudoku, and is also played on a 9 x 9 grid, the numbers on the double-sided tiles are used
differently. The numbers on yellow are parts of a sum, the numbers on a red
background are the last digit of any number – 4 is part of 4, 14, 24, and so
on. Each player places one tile and may turn over another tile already on the
board, then he draws a tile. Tiles are placed adjacent
to already placed tiles, a Kakuro is formed if two or
more different yellow numbers, horizontally or vertically adjacent to a red
number, form the sum corresponding to the red number. The player scores the sum
formed. A tile may be turned over when the newly placed tile and the turned
over tile are part of the same Kakuro at the end of
the move. At the end the player with the highest score wins.
