(Published on 18. May 2022, 11:58 by Qodec)
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Each row, column, and region indicated by thick borders in the grid must contain the digits 1 to 9 once each.
- No-touch (anti-king): Equal digits cannot touch each other diagonally.
- Killer cages: An area surrounded by a dashed line is a 'killer cage'. Digits in a cage cannot repeat and sum to the number in the upper left corner.

Wow, the interactions between the boxes in the midsolve were beautifully crafted ! Loved how the anti king helped little by little to disambiguate things.

I've enjoyed the break in and the effect of the cages on each other, especially the 4-cell 23 cage.
