Sudoku 2

A whole new way for a group to play the world's most popular numbers challenge. There are no puzzles! Just be the first to place your number cards by using the Sudoku number rules. For 2 to 8 players.

Components: Sudoku board with 81 blanks spaces. A deck of 90 cards consisting of nine sets of numbered cards (labeled 1 through 9) and nine Switch cards.

Set-up: Randomize draw deck. Place draw deck in centermost empty space. [The Draw deck has a Sudoku value of 2 until the last card is draw and space is left empty.] Give each player 5 cards to start.

On your turn: Within 15 seconds, place one card on the gameboard according to the rules of Sudoku, or place one card in your face-up area, or play a Switch card. A Switch card lets you swap a card from you hand with a card that is on the gameboard or in another player's face-up area.

Game End: Game ends after draw deck is empty, and all Switch cards have been used. Numbered cards in your hand and face-up area give you points equal to their face value (1 through 9) and Switch Cards give you 0 points. The Player(s) with the fewest points is the winner.
