Abstract Samurai (Mean mini samurai sudoku)
(Published on 29. April 2024, 10:10 by AnalyticalNinja )
I'm trying to get my puzzling gears going again, but I figured I'd start with sharing some of my old creations here and on my Patreon. If you have enjoyed some of my puzzles here on LMD, then please feel free to check out my Patreon as well. :)
Rules for Abstract Samurai:
For each of the overlapping 3x3 squares in the grid, select three digits from 1-9 to place in each row and column. (Each box will only contain three different digits.) Additionally, overlapping regions can only contain one shared digit.
Normal variant rules apply for these constraints:
Arrow; digits on an arrow sum to the attached circle.
Black kropki; Cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio.
German Whisper; Adjacent digits on a green line must differ by at least 5.
Between line; digits on a between line must be numerically between the digits in the attached circles.
XV; cells separated by an X sum to 10 and cells separated by a V sum to 5.
Thermo; digits increase along a thermo from the bulb.
Killer cages; Digits in the cages sum to the small number and digits can't repeat within a cage.
