Kenken starter book

book arrived in excellent condition, and has proven to be an excellent introduction to the game of Kenken...

A great way to kill time and sharpen your mind

This is fun! I highly recommend it to sudoku lovers and to anyone who enjoys logic puzzles. Volume 1 level is very easy. Really just for children. Basic math challenges (add, subtract) solved with sudoku-like logic on a sudoku-like grid with "cages." No repeat numbers in rows or columns, you know the drill. I'm sudoku-ed out at this point, but the KenKen puzzle is different enough that I can already feel the addictive possibilities of it. Also, my perception and mental clarity feel sharper after solving one or two of these. I like that part lots. Thanks and hugs to Will Shortz for bringing KenKen to the U.S.!
