RULES:
- Standard sudoku rules apply.
- Digits with a black dot between them must have the ratio 1:2, except the for the dot with a 3, where the ratio has to be 1:3.
- Clues outside the grid are NOT normal little killer clues, but Yahtzee little killer clues.

Nice concept here.. I grew up on Yahtzee, and the infusion of this concept into a sudoku is very ingenious. There were some tricky parts though, but thoroughly enjoyed the solve, especially how it unwinds after all the clues are resolved. Thanks for this awesome puzzle, and the associated nostalgia it brought.

Glad you liked it! I've also played a lot of Yahtzee growing up. :)
I might try to make another one with only Yahtzee clues (would have to be a 6x6 then).
