The cages are made up of orthogonalIy connected cells and they both have a sum of 21. Call one of the cages a and the other b. It does not matter which. A cage can not share an edge of a cage of the same type (a or b) from a different box. Cells with matching purple marks are part of the same cage.
Furthermore: a 3 can not be orthagonally adjacent to a 2 or 4.
Tips: use different background colours to differentiate the cages.
Make use of a sum table for killer sudokus.
Solution code: Column 2 followed by row 7 (numbers only)

Since this is a sudoku puzzle, could you please add the sudoku tag?

I tried to clear up the rules.

I feel like the explanation of the ruleset could use a bit more refinement.
For example: can Cage A and B be different sizes/combinations? if so, how do we tell whether they are the "A" and "B" cages? or does it simply mean they can't touch an identical style cage? Can they touch diagonally?
