Galaxy Lunchboxes
(Published on 21. June 2020, 13:57 by Undar_Beyond)
This puzzle is a mixture of Lunchbox Sudoku (that I created) and a Spiral Galaxy Puzzle. The concept is inspired by a puzzle made by Phistomefel with similar variant
here, enjoy :)
Rules:
~For short, spiral galaxy and lunchbox rules apply.
~For long, normal sudoku rules apply,
~The dots given in the grid are the centers of pointsymmetric galaxies
~Each galaxy forms a one cell width line with at least 3 cells (which does not touch itself and does not form loops)
~Galaxies cannot overlap with each other
~The number near a dot shows the sum of the numbers sandwiched between the smallest number and the largest number of the galaxy.
~Digits cannot repeat in cages.
~Contrary to a classical galaxy puzzle, not every cell in the grid has to be part of a galaxy.
~If you're not familar with lunchbox sudoku, it is suggested that you try my previous puzzles first at

Minor nitpick: you use the word 'cages' instead of 'galaxies' in the rules. It's clear what you mean, though. Very nice puzzle - very fun solution path.

Toll. Und trotz der wenigen Vorgaben nicht so schwierig wie gedacht.
