After playing Zooloretto, the digital version of the board game of the same name, I’ve come to the conclusion that running a successful zoo boils down to two things: First and foremost, don’t make flamingos and cheetahs share the same personal space, and always make sure you have as many vendor stalls as possible.

There have been a rash of great logic/puzzle games in the last few months, and Strimko, from newcomer Braintonik, is a worthy addition to that roster. Taking Sudoku in new directions makes for a fun – if uneven – experience.

But for those of us who prefer to avoid the cold and stay out of harm's way, digital snowbound mayhem will suffice as a warmer, safer substitute.

Whether or not the game's small handful of levels will deliver anything more than a few fleeting moments of fun really depends on how bored you are.
