They only call it a sudoku when it is a sudoku. I.e sudoku rules apply. There are additional constraints, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a sudoku. Los Alamos chess or crazyhouse chess is still chess, isn't it? Chess is really a family of games, and the same is true of sudoku.
- huytersd 3y agoNo, los alamos chess is los alamos chess. No one refers to it as just chess. The furthest someone might go would be chess with or without castling. There’s pai gow poker and Texas holdem poker and they’re referred to as such because they’re games with different rules. I don’t particularly care to die on this sudoku hill but it bothers me enough to say something.
- lanternfish 3y agoPeople very, very frequently refer to holdem as just poker. I've also heard five cars draw referred to as just poker. If you asked someone playing PLO what they're playing, a lot of people just say 'poker' and then elaborate if it becomes necessary.
- huytersd 3y agoThat’s because it’s by far the most popular form. No one is going to call pai gow just poker.
