About
HOW TO PLAY...
The face of each cube has a grid engraved with the numbers 1 through 9 arranged in a particular order. Choose one cube as your starting point and place it in front of you. Next pick up another cube. Look at the numbers on your starter cube and the numbers on your second cube. Feel free to rotate the cubes and look at the number grids on all sides. Decide where you can place cube #2 in relation to cube #1 so there is no duplication of numbers in the rows or the columns.
Continue your play in this fashion choosing from the unused cubes and determining where they can be placed. You can utilize any side of the cubes in play until you reach the winning solution of all 9 cubes in a 3 x 3 layout with the numbers 1 through 9 in every row and every column with no duplication.
Think it’s easy? Think again. With the interactive design of the number grids, many hundreds of winning combinations are possible with a single set of 9 cubes. There are even some solutions which include diagonal 1 through 9 as well.
BY YOURSELF OR WITH FRIENDS…
Just like a sudoku puzzle you can have the fun of playing anytime, anywhere and a Su-Di-Ku game is usually solved in about the same amount of time. However, unlike a traditional puzzle, you can play Su-Di-Ku with friends: Bring it to Friday game night – Compete for best time – Arrange tournaments.
WE'RE VERY EXCITED...
To partner with the award winning international dice maufacturer Q-workshop, the largest producer of unique and unusual dice in the world. They are the recipients of the several awards including the prestigious ORIGINS award for “The Best game accessories” and they look forward to providing us with a top quality product.
THE STRETCH GOALS...
While the original game is black on white just like pencil on paper, we like other color combinations too. Not only is it fun to choose a color you prefer, with 2 or more sets you can combine the colors to create patterns within your solution such as
Four Corners (or) The Iron Cross
The X-Factor
Odd Man Out
Tri-color Quilted
Creating your own pattern variations is as much fun as playing the game. We'll announce the stretch goals once our Kickstarter campaign gets underway.
OUR FUNDING GOAL...
Is the amount needed for a minimum production run of Su-Di-Ku cubes. We're hoping of course that you're going to carry us beyond this so that ultimately we will be able to manufacture in quantities that will make Su-Di-Ku affordable for all game players. Until then our Kickstarter gives you the opportunity to be part of an exclusive group.
IT’S NOT JUST A PROJECT – IT’S A STORY…
...about 1 Smart Guy named George. While many people use computer programs to generate sudoku puzzles, for the past 2 years George has used just the neurons in his amazing brain to create and fine tune the specific number grids used on our original Su-Di-Ku game. Think it's a great mental exercise to solve a puzzle? Try inventing not one - but SIX - interactive puzzles from scratch ! Now, with the help of his daughters he is ready to present Su-Di-Ku to the world.
AND NOW IT’S UP TO YOU...
We appreciate your support and your vision that millions of people worldwide will enjoy Su-Di-Ku -- the challenging 3-D version of the game sudoku. And since we don’t know all those people personally, we’d like you to join our team and spread the word every way you can. By Facebook and Email. By Twitter, Text and Tumblr. Telephone, Telegraph, Tell a friend ! Get creative and tell everyone to back 1SmartGuy named George.
OK this isn’t George but it’s another really smart guy who knew how to have fun.
Risks and challenges
The design, prototypes and patent pending are complete. The sourcing of a manufacturer has been determined as well as the production time and the total cost. We have planned for receipt of the finished goods, repackaging and shipping to --> YOU. The obstacles now would be force majure, acts of God, Mother Nature, Planetary Alien Invasion or an ELE (Extinction Level Event, ala’ no more dinosaurs). Other than that we’ve probably got it covered. But seriously...
As with any other tangible product there can be unexpected delays but in our case the product is solid, literally. It's cubes. There are no moving parts and no redesigns to go through. The only variable at this time is knowing how many we will be packing and shipping to our *brilliant* and *beautiful* supporters. The best possible scenario we can imagine is that we will have to call on all our family and friends because we won't be able to do it alone. THANK YOU.
Yes, we're saying it again, thank you. It's all over the page and may appear redundant but we really do mean it...Thanks !
