As far as I am aware this is an original rule set. I hope you enjoy!

Rules:
- Standard Sudoku Rules
Fill the grid with digits 1–9 so that each appears exactly once in every row, column. Also no digit should repeat within a region.
- Region-Building Rules
Construct regions made of orthogonally connected cells such that each region contains exactly one circle. Every cell belongs to a region.
The number inside the circle gives the size of its region.
Each region must contain a consecutive set of digits (e.g., {2,3,4}, {1}, {4,5,6,7,8,9}), in any order.
- Black Kropki Dots
A black dot between two cells indicates the digits are in a 1:2 ratio.
The two cells must belong to the same region. Not all such dots are given.
- White Kropki Dots
A white dot between two cells indicates the digits are consecutive.
The two cells must belong to the same region. Not all possible white dots are given.
- Little Killer Sum
Clues outside the grid, indicated by arrows, show the sum of the digits along the diagonal path of the arrow.
