Hitori
Hitori is a type of logic puzzle that is somewhat similar to Sudoku puzzles. A few of our friends are addicted to the game and insist that we share it with any looking to spend a few Chillable Hours exercising their noggins.
From Wikipedia:
Hitori is played with a grid of squares or cells, and each cell contains a number. The object is to eliminate numbers by filling in the squares such that remaining cells do not contain numbers that appear more than once in either a given row or column.
Filled-in cells cannot be horizontally or vertically adjacent, although they can be diagonally adjacent. The remaining un-filled cells must not be isolated from the rest of the grid by filled-in cells either vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
The site that we have linked has a couple of different levels available for those who like to play with a little extra help and for those who are Hitori masters. The linked site also has a few strategic tips that may help you understand the game.
