Sudoku puzzles were first introduced in 1986 and were then popularized by a Japanese company in 2005. The grid style game has some numbers filled in and other squares left blank. The goal is to solve it in such a way that each column and each row contains the digits 1 through 9 only once. In addition, there can be no duplicate numbers in each of the nine individual 3X3 squares. The braille number pegs are specially designed to hold two positions. As you're setting up a puzzle from the book, firmly press each number into the board. Then, as you try numbers, just place them lightly into the appropriate hole. These numbers stand up a little higher than the other numbers presented in the original puzzle, and also make these pegs feel a little looser to the touch, to help you remember those could just be temporary numbers. When finished, simply press the correct number pegs down to lock them in place. This is an ingenious portable Braille game that can be played again and again. Sudoku is a delightful strategy game and really challenges the mind.
