Product Description
What could be more appealing to Mensa members—or anyone who enjoys a good challenge—than a cunning test of intelligence and logic? That’s exactly what these 250 puzzles provide. The trick to kakuro is in making it all add up: the game begins with a grid that looks like a crossword, except that some squares contain small numbers in the corner. Fill in all the empty boxes using the numbers 1 to 9 without repeats so that the sum of each horizontal set of digits equals the number in the black triangle to its left, and the sum of each vertical set of digits equals the number in the triangle above it. The kakuro puzzles start out simple…and get more difficult as the book progresses.

 Kakuro by Mensa February 17, 2008
Book with 250 puzzles not ranked by difficulty level but pick up complexity after #6 and become very difficult at the end. Limited list of unique sums and good introduction. Best for the advanced puzzler.
 More great puzzles January 20, 2008
I gave this book to my mom for Christmas and she loved it. She is always looking for cross-sums by Dell and these are the same type of puzzles that have been renamed since the sudoku craze. These puzzles are much more fun than sudoku.
Excellent collection for hard core fans October 11, 2007

I, too, am a long time solver and love the big very difficult puzzles. This fits the bill! Large puzzles and lots of them, fun to solve, easy to read. Right up there with The Everything Kakuro Challenge Book as the best collection of these puzzles I've seen.
Tough but fair September 6, 2007
Puzzles are challanging and require thought but can be completed with a modicum of concentration. So far I have completed the first 30 puzzles and I have enjoyed them although at times they can stress your patience. A good challange for the experienced Kakuro fan.
needs better paper April 18, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Since the puzzles are hard (challenging?) I find the paper quality in this book to be poor. If I can't see the solution right away and need to mark in some possibilities, I find that the paper deteriorates when I erase and does not erase cleanly. There are other books out there that have paper that stands up to erasing nicely.
The difficulty aspect is awesome for those looking for puzzles that take awhile to complete. What good is a puzzle that is finished in just a few minutes? You won't find those in this book.
