Press Release Summary = Shendoku aims to turn the millions of SuDoku addicts into
socialites by encouraging the to play together in an involving and stimulating new
game.

Press Release Body = One thousand years ago a famous polymath, astronomer,
cartographer and all round genius named Shen Kua was a passionate game player. His
passion was GO, the ancient game of skill and chance played on boards of 19x19
squares, but also other sizes including 9x9, the same as in the SuDoku puzzle. Shen
was so fascinated by the game that he was the first person to calculate the number
of possible moves in the game despite not having a zero in the Chinese numbering
system.

Shen\'s innovations included the grid reference system for maps, and it was this fact
that inspired the development of a game - based on the SuDoku puzzle - that involves
several of Shen\'s innovations, including the grid references, to form what Shen
himself may have developed had the SuDoku puzzle been around in his time. In honour
of Shen, the game is named after him.

ShendokuT is a game for two or more players, it can be played anywhere and is
available in various forms, initially as a book on sale at lulu.com, but soon to be
released globally in its first internationally published volume. In development are
games for the PC and mobile phone, in single player and multi player versions, and
most excitingly in a format being developed by rorohiko - who also produce the
generators for Shendoku game grids - that involves allocating players a personal
code for playing and registering their scores on regional, national or global
scoreboards.

The object of this development is to generate a means for selecting players for a TV
Game Show format, currently being refined by the original development team, and soon
to be available to production companies. More information on this can be sought via
the Shendoku.com website.

ShendokuT is available for syndication through the highly acclaimed websudoku.com
and for publishers looking to generate game grids themselves, generators and
templates can be acquired through rorohiko.com - the sole source for ShendokuT game
generators and developers of the on-line, computer and mobile game versions.

Look out in the coming weeks for a board game version to hit the Internet.
Shendoku.com will be the source for information and news of new releases will be
posted at shendoku.blogspot.com
