Normal sudoku rules apply: place the digits 1 to 9 in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
Anti-knight: Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) may not contain the same digit.
Poker lines: The five digits along each red line form a poker hand: a pair, two pair, three of a kind, a straight, a full house, or four of a kind. Each line counts as the best hand it contains, and each of the six hands appears on exactly one line. Similar to an ace, a 1 may play high in a straight as a 10 (6-7-8-9-10).
Killer: Digits in a cage sum to the small clue in the cage's top-left corner. Digits may not repeat within a cage.
Kropki: Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all dots are given.
Arrow: Digits along the arrow sum to the digit in the circle.

Good question... even if a line may count as any hand it contains, the solution is still unique. The geometry already keeps each line honest, so the clause never decides a deduction — it just makes "each hand exactly once" unambiguous to read.

Very interesting ruleset. I liked it a lot. Does the rule that every line counts as the best set really come into play?
