Tedoku is a board game released in 2025 for 1–99 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Sandro Blasich and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Square Grid, and Die Icon Resolution.
TEDOKU is a clever and addictive “roll, flip, and write” game, that combines the logical satisfaction of Sudoku with the spatial challenges of polyomino puzzles. Designed for any number of players, TEDOKU can be played solo or as a group, as long as each player has a pencil and their own sheet. Each player has a 9x9 grid inspired by Sudoku, and over 20 rounds, they’ll fill it using dice rolls and card draws. At the start of each round, one card is flipped and the TEDOKU die is rolled. The card designates a grid zone—a row, column, or 3x3 sector—while the die shows which polyomino shape must be drawn. All players use the same inputs, placing the shape so that part of it touches the indicated area. Shapes may be rotated or mirrored, but not overlap or go beyond the grid. If a player can't place it legally, they skip the round. After 20 turns, players score points for completed rows, columns, and sectors. The highest score wins, with ties broken by the fewest empty squares. —description from the publisher
Tedoku supports 1–99 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Tedoku is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Tedoku for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Tedoku has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
