BOHS Wooden Sudoku Board Game with Drawer - with 100 Puzzles Sudoku Book for Adults - Brain Teaser Desktop Toys

I started playing sudoku on my phone, but got sick of all the ads, and staring at a screen too long. Also, the automatic checking made things too easy.This board feels solid and looks good. It fits together so well that initially I wasn’t sure where the drawer was. (It is the side with the company name on it).I’ve used this board several times a day since I got it (I work from home and am on hold a lot)

Son recently made sudoku one of his "challenges to overcome" goals (following chess, etc), and this is perfect for when he can & wants to play. i think the wooden pieces and print are more than decent quality for the price (which was my only real concern when i was making the purchase). Also great for tandem playing to teach/learn the game's strategy.The only real unexpected challenge is: when you're done playing, you now have 81 randomized pieces to sort away into the drawer... which notably takes some time. Little trick: put away the pieces together; it becomes a game in of itself to put away pieces in twos/threes.For those who play sudoku using a pencil: you obviously have no way to double-mark a square with 2+ possible numbers, so this is definitely more focused memory strengthening. It's a good thing the booklet of puzzles contains each solution. It's also good that the puzzles 1-100 get harder procedurally, so you can choose a puzzle number and brag about solving it.

This is perfect for our household to do Sudoku during the Sabbath, when we are not allowed to write or use electronics. The large size makes it easier to see. And by using physical tiles, it's easier to see when one number is completely or almost completely laid out on the board.

I love that there is built in storage for the pieces. That makes it easier to use and makes it super travel friendly. This was a gift for my daughter and she’s loving it. We are often at different wrestling tournaments and this is perfect to keep her busy on the go without starting at a phone or iPad screen. She also start red creating her own puzzles to challenge herself and her friends more. Love it!

I really wanted to find a wooden sudoku board game that was handmade with quality workmanship, but they don't seem to exist, which I don't understand. Manufacturers produce higher-end game sets for backgammon, scrabble, chess, and monopoly, so why isn't there one for sudoku? I guess there just isn't a market for them right now, but I will be on the look out for when the time comes.Anywho, I settled for this one by BOHS and it looks like all the other ones produced in China. However, the difference is that the reviews for this particular set are very positive and that was ultimately the deciding factor! First of all, it arrived VERY quickly! It was shipped on Monday, delivered to my home three days later and is in perfect condition with all the pieces.The set has a drawer with dividers for the tiles, so everything is well organized and at my fingertips when I play the game. Also, there's a space in the drawer for the sudoku puzzle book and 18 extra tiles, which will come in handy. So far I've been playing the game a lot and find it so much easier than having to use paper and pencil to solve the puzzle. No more erasing! Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and it makes solving sudoku puzzles a lot easier!

This is a great alternative to figuring out your sudoku puzzles without writing them down. I love how it is made of wood and the little wooden storage drawer for the number tiles is so cute. This would be great for family nights if your child likes solving sudoku or for any adult who likes sudoku. Though it is a little expensive I feel it is worth it because of the quality and the many uses you will be able to get out of it. If you treasure it well it should last forever.

Extremely well made - Like a little Scrabble board with tiles and the well designed grid. Maybe it's the 3-dimensional aspect of looking at the puzzle, or maybe it's the fact that you can quickly see what numbers are still lacking, or maybe it's a combination (or maybe just my imagination) BUT altogether, it makes for a great puzzle-solving solution. I try the various paper puzzles, and if I can't finish 'em, I tear out the puzzle, and set it up on my board and work it until I get it right. Black numbers for the preset, Red numbers for the ones you put in, and for the "questionables/maybes" I put on the grid sideways (in red) so if I hit a "non-workable" solution, I know which ones to remove and start over again. Like I said, I'm hitting 100% - great fun! If you're hooked on Sudoku, this is a great investment. (just be careful, the drawer that holds the tiles isn't clearly marked; it's the side of the grid that has the "BOHS" stamped on it... Pay attention or the tiles may easily spill out!) :-) P.S. The name “sudoku” is abbreviated from the Japanese suuji wa dokushin ni kagiru, which means “the numbers (or digits) must remain single.”

I love this wooden Sudoku board game. I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be smaller in size than expected (measures about 22.25 cm x 22.25 cm); very manageable to use. It will be nice to leave out in between solving puzzles. The grid board is simple and easy to see and holds the tiles securely. The blue colored divisions on the board make the nine holed grid areas easy to distinguish; very user friendly. The appearance and craftsmanship is attractive, functional, and well made. The wooden board is smooth; the tiles are readable, smooth and neatly stored in drawer compartments. I am very happy with this purchase. The package came in excellent condition. I would recommend to friends, family and be more than comfortable giving it as a gift. Looking forward to many hours of paperless Sudoku. Thank you to Bohs for offering this product!
