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!

Just guesswork. Very poor game. Couldn't be bothered to finish it.

Took a wrong turn, and if I don't believe in chains, that means I failed to solve it today.

Orphans and a chain. Came together fairly quickly but guessing isn't fun.

Solved w/ trial and error. I will be curious to know if anyone found a magic square or any other good strategy.

Not the easiest puzzle but straightforward
After filling in obvious possibilities F (quickly) or J (bit of a chain) = 7 lead contradictions. So G = 7
34D has to be 245689
26D has to be 123479 forces N=3
19A must contain a 3 which can now only go in Z
The rest is easy

slarti, I would say J=7 contradiction chain is too long to call the puzzle 'straightforward'. To me 'straightforward' means unfolding without a guess and see if goes wrong. If a relatively complex chain can be understood and expressed in language, then it becomes 'logical' again, and that's ok, but I don't see a way to express J=7 chain as an explainable logical concept.
