Here's the Sparkube, unfortunately it doesn't often appear here. Why is that? I'd say I tend to forget this game, I have several different games and I try to rotate publishing each game. But sometimes there are cracks... Well, now I'm redeeming myself. Here are three Sparkube, each with 5 arms. A sparkube are composed of 2 Sudokus interlocked. There are rows and columns of 9 cells. Each series of 3 regions (3x3 box) is interspersed with a white region, in either direction. In short, this game will baffle you, but at the same time enchant you.

The last time I published Sparkube (Sparkube's Rules ) was in 2020, now nearly three years later I try to I try to remedy this absence by publishing two new ones. A Sparkube is a Sudoku that has the shape of a star. Each point of the star has 3 3x3 regions filled with cell and numbers and one empty region with noting (big white square). We are able to form row or column by combining the regions of one point of the star to the regions of an adjacent point to form a serie of 3 filled regions and ignoring the empty region. Then we have a row or column of 9 cells as required to any honest Sudoku. The feature is each point of a star has two adjacent point then for each point we have two different series of column and row. This is crazy !
This puzzle can take four different star shapes: pentagram (star with 5 points), hexagram (6), heptagram(7) and octagram(8) .
I present you a pentagram and a heptagram. Try it !!!.

I created this puzzle a month ago and I was waiting to find the best name before I present this puzzle. Finally, I am not sure to find the perfect name for this new puzzle. So I have decided to call it Sparkube. Because it is a cross between the Spark Sudoku and the Sudokube puzzle.
If we forget the name problematic, this new puzzle, Sparkube, is very exciting to play. It can take four different star shapes: pentagram (star with 5 points), hexagram (6), heptagram(7) and octagram(8) .
The pleasure is that this puzzle allows you to literally think outside the box, because the grid ( and by the way the rows and the columns ) has not the standard shape of a square grid . You will be pleased by this new puzzle.
See the rules : Sparkube's Rules
To begin I present you a pentagram and an hexagram.
