Futoshiki is an exciting logic game that challenges players to fill in numbers on a grid using deduction and critical thinking. The goal of the game is to fill in the grid with the numbers given at the bottom of the screen with the conditions that are set. Futoshiki is different from other logic games in that it adds specific restrictions to the game, which makes it more complex and therefore more entertaining. Players must puzzle their way through grids of increasingly difficult puzzles that guarantee a satisfying sense of accomplishment at the end.
The aim of Futoshiki is to fill the grid with the given set of numbers, according to the conditions specified. The goal is to fill in the grid with the correct number of digits – numbers that fit the stated range of numbers and don’t appear more than once. The conditions usually state which numbers can and cannot be placed and also have some extra restrictions between adjacent cells.
The game does not have any form of scoring. It is purely about the challenge and personal satisfaction.
