Sudoku Finally Reaches America

After having a wave of success in the UK and Asia, Sudoku has finally arrived in America. Funnily enough, the original number game came from America but had to makes its way to Japan, get renamed and slightly tweaked to make it a super hit. Ask an American 6 months ago if they had ever heard of Sudoku and the answer would be a flat no. Now, slowly but surely, the addictive, clever game is being taken up by the people.

(PRWEB) May 15, 2006 -- After having a wave of success in the UK and Asia, Sudoku has finally arrived in America. Funnily enough, the original number game came from America but had to makes its way to Japan, get renamed and slightly tweaked to make it a super hit. Ask an American 6 months ago if they had ever heard of Sudoku and the answer would be a flat no. Now, slowly but surely, the addictive, clever game is being taken up by the people.

Sudoku, predominantly enjoyed by women, is a game of logic played with 9 numbers. But as any Sudoku fan would tell you, the numbers are just symbols and their value is not taken into account when playing.

This has led to other styles of the game being created, such as Picdoku and Lodoku. These versions of the game use pictures and logos respectively instead of numbers. This can make the game seem less daunting to those who have a natural repulsion towards numbers, however don’t be fooled, Lodoku can be just as challenging as any Sudoku game.

Picdoku is the board game version but there are many websites that offer the Sudoku game for free online and you can play Lodoku on www.lodoku.com.
