Here is the final puzzle in my series, featuring an example of most of the previous rules. Links to the other puzzles in this series are below. I hope you've enjoyed this theme!
Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column and 3x3 box.
Region sum lines: box borders divide a blue line into segments which have the same sum.
Parity lines: digits along a red line alternate between odd and even.
Renban: digits along magenta lines form a set of consecutive numbers without repeats.
Nabner: digits along yellow lines must all differ by at least two.
German Whispers. Adjacent digits along a green line always differ by 5 or more.
Dutch Whispers. Adjacent digits along an orange line always differ by 4 or more.
Kropki: Where two cells are connected by a black dot, one is double the other. Where two cells are connected by a white dot, they are consecutive.
