| 25583 | Braille sudoku set | Future Aids: The Braille Superstore | Future Aids: the Braille Superstore | 2012 | UE | S |
| Description : Discover the world's first portable, fully accessible Sudoku puzzle set for blind players! The board has holes for all eighty-one numbers, divided up into the required nine 3X3 separate squares with raised wooden dividers. Also included is a drawstring bag containing oodles of braille numbers with a peg at the bottom. That's right, to set up a new Sudoku puzzle, or fill in numbers as you work on it, all you do is insert the appropriate braille number into the desired hole in your wooden playing grid. The number pegs fit snuggly into the holes in the board, but aren't difficult to pull out to move somewhere else. Each braille number peg is marked with a raised line at the top and an indent at the bottom to help you quickly orient it and insert it into the board so all the braille numbers can be read straight up-and-down.
How do you tell the difference between a number that was presented in the original puzzle you've copied onto the board, and a number you've filled in yourself? Aha, we've solved that one, too! Also included in the drawstring bag we talked about earlier, you'll find a whole bunch of plastic plugs which are designed to clip onto the bottom of the braille number pegs you have inserted into your puzzle. When attached firmly to the underside of the braille pegs, these markers cause the numbers to stand up a little higher than the other unmarked numbers, and also make these pegs feel a little looser to the touch, to help you remember those could just be temporary numbers.
Contains: bag of pegs, wood board
