What it is:
A hand-held electronic version of the popular Japanese puzzle game.
Why we love it:
You may or may not be up on the newest puzzle craze to hit the US, but if you know a puzzle fiend, we're positive that they're familiar with, and probably already addicted to, Sudoku, and on the off chance they're not, this is your chance to introduce them. Sudoku is a deceptively simple logic game, no math is involved, no long division, no calculators needed, all you need is a pen and paper and some time. Of course, in the modern era, who has paper and a pen anymore? Surely a cleaner and simpler solution is this electronic Sudoku game. With more than 10,000 puzzles to play, this little hand-held gadget will keep even the most intrepid puzzler busy for a good long while. The grid is dry erase (pen included), so they can easily be replayed again and again. Perfect for car or plane trips, or just about any time the puzzle itch seizes them.
Who we'd give it to:
Puzzle fiends, commuters, frequent travellers, the obsessive-compulsive.
