- Normal Sudoku rules apply
- Yin-Yang: Shade some cells such that all shaded cells are orthogonally connected and all unshaded cells are orthogonally connected. No 2x2 area is fully shaded or unshaded.
- Digits may not repeat in cages, and must sum to the value in the top left corner of the cage, if given.
- Cage totals indicate how many cells of the same colour (shaded or unshaded) are seen orthogonally from the position of the cell marked with a diamond in that cage, including itself. The 'other' colour blocks vision.
- Cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Cells separated by a black dot are in a 1:2 ratio
- All dots lie on the border between the shaded and unshaded regions.

My first puzzle of this variant. Great fun. Will now do the tougher ones. Thanks, @ timotab :).

That was far smoother than I anticipated when reading the rules. I like the diamonds.

Tidied up rules, and changed some notation to be more standard. No substantive change in the puzzle
