Candystand Finally Develops a Sudoku Game
Our surrogate employers at Wrigley's Candystand have leaped on the Goodship Sudoku with a casino twist that we're sure will sell plenty of gum.
What the deal with Sudoku, man? If it weren't enough that everybody on the train in the morning is playing it, a few college buddies have expressed an interest in learning the game to earn some social clout. That's like playing Tetris to get laid. What's the correlation?
If somebody can give us a good logical explanation of why Sudoku has taken the nation by storm, we'll give you a present.

I consider myself a well-educated and reasonably intelligent person. All that being said, I can't figure out how to be marginally good at this fucking game!
Nice presentation/production value, though.
Sudoku is cranial crack. Unlike a crossword puzzle, where you might not finish it because of some lack of knowledge (e.g., you don't know the name of some 15th century duke or the capital of Zaire), Sudoku can always be completed if you put enough thought into it and have enough skill with pattern recognition. It even provides a few moments of serenity for me, except for when I'm driven mad after hours of trying to solve the harder puzzles.
Japenese domination, plain and simple.
For everybody who wants to try out something new in sudoku, try shendoku, using the sudoku rules but playing two people, one against the other, like battleshipps. They have a free version to download at http://www.shendoku.com/sample.pdf . Anything else they are bringing out or they are working on you can find at www.shendoku.com or at they´r blog www.shendoku.blogspot.com . Have fun, I am. I specially like one slogan I heard about Shendoku: SUDOKU is like masturbation (one person)…. SHENDOKU is like sex (it takes two).
