Sudoku game device

A device enabling the blind to play the game of Sudoku comprises a base and a plurality of wheels 13 rotatably mounted to the base for rotation about respective parallel axes, each wheel 13 carrying an identical set of Braille numbers 15 positioned at respective angular positions around the axis of rotation thereof. The base is divided into 3 x 3 arrays of 3 x 3 sub-arrays of locations (12, figure 1), each having three wheels 13. In use, the player is able to feel the surface relief markings using their sense of touch. The game is played in a similar manner to the conventional game of Sudoku by turning the wheels 13: the outer wheels 13 in each location (12) can be used to indicate different possible candidates for the solution. Also, the outer wheels 13 in each location can be used to mark given locations or locations which the player believes to have been set correctly.
