Digits in cages must sum to the number in the top-left corner of the cage. If given.
Knight Aparts:
Digits in cells that are a single chess knight move away from any caged cell must differ from that caged cell by at least 5.

It was so fun. At first stare I thought how is this rated one star, but when I got into it the rule set is actually very restricting. Thanks!!
