Despite setting 60+ puzzles, there are still a few puzzle genres / Sudoku variants I haven't touched. In the past days I have played around with one of those constraints, Region Sum Lines. This is my first attempt at setting a Region Sum Line puzzle, I hope you all like it. It should not be too difficult, but still has a few core ideas in it.

Special thanks to bellsita for the name suggestion.

Rules:
Sudoku: Place the digits from 1-9 in each row, column and box without repeats.
Region Sum Lines: For each blue line in the grid, digits on the line have an equal sum N within each box it passes through. Multiple entries to a box sum separately.

Puzzle Links: You can solve this puzzle in either F-Puzzles or in the CTC software. CTC version has answer check.

Solution code: Column 7

That break-in took me some time to find and it is amazing once I saw it. After that, the puzzle flowed greatly without being trivial, still provided a lot of cool interactions, even to the end. You really crafted something truly unique with just region sum lines!

A very fun solve with lots of lovely interactions and conclusions!

Great puzzle and extra plus for branching line.

This is a brilliant puzzle from start to finish. The interaction between the left and right side to peel away the numbers was sublime. An hour and a half of logic genius. Thank you for creating this masterpiece.
