How to play Kakuro
Kakuro is similar to both sudoku and traditional crossword games.
Like a Crossword
Similar to crosswords, Kakuro has clues both across and down. When you put numbers in the vacant squares, the sum must equal the given clues. This is why the game is sometimes called 'cross sums'.
Like a Sudoku
Just like a sudoku, you cannot have the same number in a row or column. If a row is broken into 2 areas by a clue, then you can have the same number occuring once in each of the separate areas.
Other variations

Talk about anything and everything, but nice to each other - you don't have to agree, but this is not the place for personal attacks. As Sir Paul McCartney said: 'I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird' (longer explanation). Enjoy!
Quite tough. Took too long to admit time

Don, using orphans and going from the point of 5 cells (in the top 2 rows), your point # 2,

eliminate the other 6 from 15A (30D would be low),
eliminate 2 from the bottom 2 rows of 27D -
short if has both 1 & 2,

(the 2 columns of the 2 middle rows total 9 since 27D has 3456), giving the 4 middle squares

easy from there
