- Digits in cages must sum to the total in the top left corner of the cage. Digits may not repeat in cages.
- There is a set of the digits 1-9 in the grid of negative numbers. There may only be one negative number in any row, column, or box. All clues are affected by the negative values of these digits.

Many comments from those who have solved the puzzle say it can be quite difficult towards the beginning, as such it will be raised to 4 stars.

Quite tough at first but then it came together beautifully. Very cleverly constructed.
