Two games, one pencil
There is a version of these puzzles that only happens on paper. No auto-X marking the neighbours for you, no timer, no board that knows when you're done — just the grid, a pencil, and the slow satisfaction of a dot placed for the right reason. That version is why the books exist. They are the same boards as the daily puzzles, drawn from the same bank and checked by the same solver, so nothing in a book ever needs a guess. They are just quieter.
Star Battle is the deeper of the two: two stars in every row, column and region, on 9×9 and 10×10 grids. It is the puzzle the New York Times prints as Two Not Touch, and the Star Battle books run from an Easy pack a child can finish to an Expert pack that will last a long weekend. Queens is quicker and stricter: one queen per row, column and color region, on 7×7 to 9×9 boards. It is the game LinkedIn made a daily habit, and the Queens books print in full color with heavy outlines so they work on any printer.
Every board in every book has a play page online, and each book's page lists its puzzles by number — so when you want to check an answer, or see the step-by-step reasoning for the one that beat you, it's a click away. Prefer the screen after all? Both games publish fresh boards every day: today's Star Battle and today's Queens.
