Hot on the heels of Sudoku comes Kakuro, the challenging and fiendishly addictive new puzzle game. It's called Cross-Sums in the US, Kakro in Japan and Kakuro in the UK. Already more popular than Sudoku in Japan,Kakuro can best be described as a mathematical crossword.
Like Sudoku, Kakuro is played on grids of varying sizes. Each grid consists of blank and filled squares similar to a crossword puzzle. Some filled in squares have a diagonal slash across them with two numbers (one above and one below) - these are the 'clues'. The object of the puzzle is to fill in the squares using the numbers 1 to 9,making sure they add up to the number attached to that row, and without repeating a number.
Guaranteed to provide hours of brain-teasing and addictive fun !

"What really gives PC Kakuro addicts the advantage over paper
players is that each clue automatically shows its number
combinations when moused over. Kakuro Infinite Edition is simply
but smartly presented, and as the name suggests it contains an
infinite amount of puzzles. The package GSP has put together here
is well polished and good value for money." IT Reviews, 26/01/06
