With a separate sudoku book for every level, all puzzle lovers can play this wildly popular, incredibly addictive game that's appearing in major newspapers all over! Taking a page from karate-another Japanese art-each title is graded by colour: White Belt for easy, Green Belt for medium level, Brown Belt for hard, and Black Belt for the super-tough solvers. And because each book has an amazing 300 puzzles, the fun can go on for hours.

Everyone loves sudoku puzzles, finding them impossible to put down. The only problem: having enough sudokus to solve! Created in the United States, these addictive conundrums were originally called “Number Place” puzzles until their recent rise in popularity in Japan, where the name translated as sudoku. However, in a true sudoku, unlike a “Number Place” puzzle, the grids are symmetrical. This trait makes for a more elegant solve. Every puzzle included inside is symmetrical, which is not always the case in other sudoku books. In this “Martial Arts Sudoku” series, we’ve indicated the skill level necessary to complete each book in the same way Japanese karate levels are ranked: by different colored belts. This is the Second-Degree Black Belt volume, filled with puzzles that will provide a sly, absorbing test for even the best, most proficient experts. You’ll go crazy for these super engaging brain bafflers!

Even more interaction—this time used in combination with other procedures…and a lot more heavily than in the first book.

The difficulty level soars, as even more tricks get added to the mix: X-Wing; Swordfish; XY-Wing; XYZ-Wing; and the Gordonian Rectangle.

Top solvers can try their hand at the One-Sided Gordonian Rectangle; Extended Gordonian Rectangle; Gordonian Polygon; and Alternating Digits. (But they can take comfort in knowing that no more than one will occur in any single puzzle.)

Watch out—these sudoku might crush even the most stalwart of solvers!
