About

Sudecku

Read full description

Sudecku is Sudoku with a deck of cards in your hand. The grid is the same 9×9 you already know, but you just fill it differently. Every number you place is a card you've drawn. Alongside the numbers there are power cards that can fill a stubborn cell, check your work, or reshuffle your hand when you're stuck. Sudoku with card strategy! What's in it: - A new puzzle every day, at several difficulty levels - Number and power cards you unlock over time and build into your own deck - High scores that actually unlock things, so a good run gets you stronger cards - A clean layout for iPhone and iPad with nothing in the way of the puzzle I started this as a small experiment: what if Sudoku had a little risk in it? It turned out to be more fun than expected, and it's been shaped slowly, one piece at a time! If you like Sudoku but wish it pushed back a bit more, or you like card games and want something quieter, give it a try.
