Abstract

There currently exists no taxonomy for the full range of puzzles including "pen & paper" Japanese logic puzzles. We present a functional taxonomy for these puzzles in preparation for implementing them in digital form. This taxonomy reveals similarities and differences between these puzzles and locates them within the context of single player games.
