## What is Sudoku Brawl?

Sudoku Brawl allows you to play simultaneous, head-to-head games of Sudoku against up to 3 other players.

Each round is played like a traditional Sudoku game.  When any player solves a tile, it is revealed for everyone.  The round lasts until the entire grid is revealed.

Players earn points for revealing tiles.  A tile is worth the minimum number of empty tiles in its row, column or block.  For example, the last tile in a row or column is only worth 1 point.

A time penalty is incurred for guessing an incorrect number.  This penalty is based on the tile value and round difficulty.  Other players will see your penalty flash on the grid.

While you have a tile highlighted, it is reserved.  You can score a reserved tile even if another player reveals it first.  The final tile in the round cannot be reserved.

After each round, stars are divided among the players in proportion to their score.  The player in first place takes all of the crowns.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work! Don't buy it!

*2017-09-07*

Looked up apps that would allow playing suduku with friends and read about it. Got my friend to buy it so we could play together, but have not been able to. Apple should remove it from the store.

### 1/5 — No longer works properly with latest OS

*2017-06-14*

If this was more than $1 I'd attempt to get my money back. The first thing I got was a iOS warning saying the app won't work after future OS updates. Not good. Then I tried to connect to play my daughter and couldn't get it to work. It sends an iCloud link that doesn't connect us. Don't buy it. Find another app. Hopefully the app gets updated and starts to work.

### 1/5 — Should have read the review first

There's never anyone to play against. Wasted a dollar. Meh...

### 1/5 — No one to play.

This app gets 5 stars if they get people to play with. And for a paid app, they should have somebody.
