Few know that Sudoku is actually an American version of the Japanese game known as Number Place. The puzzles in Number Place: Yellow are conceived by Japan's greatest puzzler mind, Master Tetsuya Nishio. He has done more than any other to develop the game of Sudoku and continues to handcraft the toughest and most popular games. These pocket-sized collections are the perfect companion for the on-the-go puzzler.

Reviews

According to The Times of London, "Tetsuya Nishio is the undisputed grand 'puzzle master' of Sudoku: a bespectacled fiend from the darkest suburbs of Tokyo who spends his every waking hour devising abominable new ways to torture our brain cells. His only weapon is logic, but, in his own words, 'It is a knife that kills.' His commitment to deviousness is absolute."
