Rikudo is a logic puzzle because it requires you to think about your moves as you solve it.

Rikudo is a logic puzzle that was invented in Japan sometime around the turn of the twentieth century. The goal is to find a path of consecutive numbers in a honeycomb grid with hexagonal cells.

Each puzzle has only one unique solution, even though there are often multiple paths you can take.
