<div><br></div><div>On the piece storage front: </div><div>-A set of 9 trays that each hold 9 stacked pieces (2.25" thick stack). Can be attached to play board but increases the play arm reach to 25".</div><div>
-Having the trays separate might make it easier to play...</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://inventorartist.com/sudoku/">http://inventorartist.com/sudoku/</a><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">

<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><br></div> Sudoku's a pretty number-intensive game - you're looking at (at least) 81 numbers (plus a few dozen more if he marks up the board the way I do when I'm working one out).<br>
<br></div> Does your friend have good hand-eye coordination? Could you make the board out of carved laminate whiteboard or painted blackboard?<br> (Blackboard paint on a light wood might look super swank if you did the lines with your CNC engraver technique)<span><font color="#888888"><br>
