Very nice puzzle! The German whispers definitely provided the biggest challenge.

Fun puzzle! I love the idea of each box having its own little set of rules. I gave it two stars as I felt some of the german whisper logic to limit cells was tricky, but it's right on the edge. Loved it!

I appear to have too many candidates in Box 7 to ever imagine where the hidden teal line goes. Help!
--when you two modular lines, the three remaining cells also have one of each set. That's actually a shortcut if you need it.

I ended using the hidden line in box 7 to disambiguate box 9. Perhaps there was some other logic that makes it unnecessary, but I used it.
