Refresh your passion for logic with the first-ever collection of TriDoku. If you are tired of standard 3x3 grids, this book introduces a revolutionary triangular architecture that will sharpen your existing skills and force you to learn entirely new solving techniques. Each puzzle is played on a massive triangular grid where nonets are triangles rather than squares, creating a sophisticated mental workout.
The Unique Rules of TriDokuTriDoku abandons traditional rows and columns in favor of geometric complexity. To solve these grids, you must master several unique constraints:
Triangular Nonets: Each of the nine large triangles (drawn with thick lines) must contain all numbers from 1 to 9. Outer and Inner Edges: The three sides of the large "big" triangle and the three sides of the "inner" triangle must each contain the digits 1 to 9 without repeats. The Touching Rule: No two cells that touch-even by a single angle-can contain the same number. A single cell can touch up to 12 adjacent cells, allowing for rapid elimination of candidates. The Hexagon Rule: Any six cells forming a hexagon must contain unique digits, providing a powerful secondary deductive tool.Professional Challenge & VarietyThis landmark first edition features 150 puzzles that escalate in complexity, including two elite variants for the advanced solver:
