I loved it! I can see why people are getting stuck, but simple sudoku logic will get them through. Lovely puzzle!

I must have had bad pencil marks or something. Because I used the same logic path and that time was able to finish.

I got stuck in the middle, after finding quite a bit of numbers, about 65% done. But the 3rd number of the blue lines could be 2 possibilities. And was never able to disambiguate, so just had to guess. Seems like I missed something.
@Kinglsulgard Please read my comments to others. Hopefully this helps. Thank you. -Will Power

@dlandrum17,
Same here! :) Quite near the end. Maybe I misunderstand the blue line rule? Same 3 digits on every blue line, right?
@ave Please read the comment I just added to dlandrum. If you are beyond this, please let me know yourt last deduction. Thanks for playing. -Will Power
@ave If you are very close to the end, you should have 2 possible numbers for the final number on blue lines. Inputting the higher one should solve some numbers in row 1, but those force the circle in box 1 to be a number that does not work. Therefore, you should use the lower number on the blue lines. -Will Power
Thanks for the tip! Turns out I just missed some candidate pencilmarks in a few cells. On third try I finally could finish it. It was fun and educating! Thanks!!

@Will Power. I’ve started it three times and I the puzzle keeps breaking. All of my thoughts seem logical but this is the first time I haven’t been able to solve a two star puzzle of yours and I’m completely perplexed. Is there a way you can help check or see where I might have gone wrong?
@dlandrum Have you gotten to a point where you have filled in 2 out of the three numbers on all blue lines? If so, then look at the third number and delete all numbers that are not common to all four lines. This should allow you to make a breakthrough in column 2. Peace to you, and thanks for playing. -Will Power
