Sudoku: Tactics

In Sudoku: Tactics, players take turns drawing 1-5 number tiles and place them in any order to complete rows, columns and 3x3 sub-grids following the rules of Sudoku. Each completion scores one point, and the tiles in the completed areas are removed and returned to the tile pile. If a player is unable to legally place a number, a "Sudoku Jam" occurs; all tiles with that number are returned to the pile and the previous player scores a point. Since the board is never entirely filled up, the game is played to an arbitrary number of points or time limit agreed to in advance.

Similar to other Blue Panther products, the box, nine-piece board, scoreboard and 81 tiles are all laser-etched wood. The board pieces fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The game also comes with a printed paper instruction sheet and five pairs of plastic cubes to mark player scores.
