This year I decided that I would push myself as a setter and try new things as part of my New Year’s resolution. More custom rules, more pencil puzzles, but still have my normal flow. But, I’ll still drop a vanilla variant sudoku every now and then. This is one of those. If you are interested in non-vanilla sudoku you should check out my gift for PjotrV: Cookie Conundrum. It’s a loop drawing puzzle where the loop acts as double arrow.
Rules:
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Killer: Digits in a cage cannot repeat and sum to the given total.
Region Sum Lines: Box borders divide lines into segments with the same sum. Different lines do not necessarily have the same sum.
Solution code: Row 9

Tough 60 minutes solve for me. Three stars about right I think.

Amazing how it solves with such a minimal break from symmetry!

Great puzzle. Not equally difficult. 1* then one 3* bump then 1* again. Nice interaction though. Thx for sharing.
