Product Information

The next few steps will use the below diagram as a guide. Use a ruler and pencil to draw a grid across one side of your plywood ( follow the blue lines in the diagram). First, you’ll need to draw 9 horizontal lines starting 2cm from one edge, then spaced 2cm apart. Then draw an identical set of 9 vertical lines. This will create a grid of 9×9 lines – and each of the points at which the lines cross will be a hole for your DIY wooden Sudoku game. Solving Sudoku on the stylish wooden playing board is made a little more challenging by the fact that you can't write notes in the margins as you might usually do. This might be a little unusual at first, but is good way to train the brain, and the various puzzles are not impossible to solve without a paper and pen. Place the first numbered wooden pegs in the playing field according to the instructions provided in the booklet. Then fill in the remaining empty holes yourself with the remaining pegs. When you have succeeded in placing all 81 wooden pegs so that the numbers 1-9 are only found ONCE in each row, column and 3x3 box, you have succeeded in solving the puzzle. Drill holes at every point at which the lines cross. To make the holes as neat as possible, I’d recommend covering both sides of the plywood in masking tape (to prevent splintering). I would also recommend starting off with a small drill bit to make pilot holes, before swapping for a 1cm drill bit to make the final holes. This luxurious Sudoku game in dark wood gives you a great game format for solving Sudoku puzzles. The small Sudoku board has a handy format, is decorative to have on display and makes it fun to solve Sudoku puzzles on your own or with the whole family.

Have yourself a woody good time by playing these addicting games & IQ boost games with beautiful woody puzzle pieces!Use a clean cloth to apply a layer of wood stain or varnish to the entire Sudoku board. This will deepen the colour and emphasise the wood grain, making it look so much more professional.

Start off by cutting your plywood to size. It needs to measure 20cm x 20cm. Use a jigsaw or hand saw to do this, trying to make it as neat as possible. Alternatively, ask in your local hardware shop to see if they can cut it for you. As well as being a fully working Sudoku game that you can play again and again, this project also doubles as a pretty cool ornament. No need to tidy up after yourself here! When you’ve finished playing, just pop the DIY wooden Sudoku game on your coffee table. And voila! Instant touch of mid-century modern styling.? I used a piece of plywood for the Sudoku board, and some pre-cut dowels for the “numbers” (except I used colour to differentiate them, instead of digits). I managed to get this project finished over a couple of sunny afternoons in the garden, whilst sipping on an iced matcha latte. Livin’ the dream! DIY Wooden Sudoku Game Tools and supplies you’ll need Finally, all that’s left to do is paint the dowels to use as your game pieces. You’ll need 9 paint colours, and should paint 9 dowels in each colour (so a total of 81 pieces). However, I’d defo recommend painting a spare of each colour in case they go missing! To paint the dowels, simply dip them into a tin of paint, or apply with a brush. Wipe off the excess and place into a hole of your Sudoku board to dry. For those who are interested, there is lots of information online on how you can use more advanced techniques, such as X-wing and Y-wing techniques.

If you have solved all the puzzles in the accompanying booklet, there are a large number of game plans to be found in magazines, sudoku booklets and online. Use a puzzle you find as a template, insert the pegs into the game board and solve the puzzle in the Sudoku board. The Sudoku game comes with 81 numbered pegs, as well as a small booklet with instructions, game rules and pre-printed puzzles in easy, medium and difficult levels. The numbered wooden pegs are stored in the box under the removable playing field. Play anytime, anywhere, even without an internet connection, and indulge in hours of wood puzzle fun! When the stain or varnish is dry, you can add a piece of craft foam to the bottom of the Sudoku board. This will add a bit of friction, so it doesn’t slide all over your table when you play. Start with easy Sudoku puzzles and work your way up gradually through the difficulty levels. Sometimes it can take time before you find the next number, so it's important to have a little patience.
