Well, I solved it, but I didn't ever come to an appreciation of the anti-consecutive constraint. I just kept trying. Thanks for the challenge.

Great puzzle, thanks for sharing. I suggest Korean Whispers, since there are 2 of them.

Thank you for this nice puzzle, Tingo! I first had to get used to the anti-consecutive line logic before I could really appreciate its implications. It has been a very enjoyable challenge.
- Thanks for playing and the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers! - Tingo

does the anti consecutive rules also include it not be the same value as it also stated that difference mus be at least 2?
- Yes. It's essentially a whisper line with a difference of two, similar to Dutch Whispers (4) or German Whispers (5). Adjacent digits may not be identical even if allowed by other rules because the value must differ by at least 2. - Tingo

First time I've seen this ruleset and everything flowed quite nicely! American whispers?:) Happy Independence Day to those across the pond.
- Thanks. I'm not sure if I made it up so I won't take credit for naming it, but I have used the anti-consecutive line a fair bit lately in my setting. Thanks for playing! Cheers. - Tingo
