In addition to the pre-printed and adhesive canvas, colored diamonds, and specialized pen, many diamond painting kits also include handy slotted trays, making pickup even easier....

How to Play Sudoku Sudoku is a fairly straightforward puzzle game. The goal is to get all the little boxes (called cells) filled in with a number (usually 1-9). Some of the cells will already be filled in with numbers. You’ll need to use the process of elimination to fill out the rest of the cells. You can not repeat a number in the same row, column, or box.
