Colorku is just like Sudoku but with coloured marbles instead of numbers. It’s a fantastic game for logic and problem solving.
It’s a colourful spin on Japanese logic puzzles; this wooden board uses wooden marbles in nine great colours instead of numbers to solve each game.
Start the game by placing the marbles on the board as shown by one of the 104 puzzle cards. Solve the puzzle by placing one (and only one!) of each colour marble in each of the nine rows, columns, and three-by-three squares. Strategy is the name of the game. There’s only one correct solution to each puzzle and will keep those little minds ticking.
Draw, doodle, and write in this very cool, slightly gross, totally awesome diary. Writing practice makes for better writers and readers.
