You know that satisfying feeling of solving a Sudoku or fitting a Tetris piece perfectly? TEDOKU brings that exact pleasure to your table! This is a super addictive 'roll, flip, and write' game that blends pure logic with spatial challenges. The concept is simple but the challenge is real: you get a 9x9 grid (totally inspired by Sudoku) and have 20 rounds to fill it as efficiently as possible.
How does it work? In each round, a card is flipped to indicate a specific zone on your grid—it could be a whole row, a column, or one of the 3x3 sectors. Simultaneously, the special TEDOKU die is rolled to show which polyomino shape you must draw. The catch? Everyone faces the same challenges at the same time! You can rotate or mirror the shape to make it fit, but pay attention: part of it must touch the area indicated by the card, and you can never overlap pieces or go outside the grid boundaries. If a shape simply won't fit legally, you just skip that round.
After 20 rounds, the scoring begins. You earn points for completing rows, columns, or 3x3 sectors. The highest score wins, but here's a twist: in case of a tie, the player with the fewest empty squares on their grid takes the victory. It's a fast-paced game, perfect to take anywhere, working equally well as a relaxing solo experience or a competitive session with friends. Grab your pencil and get your brain ready!
