Took me over an hour to work through it. I really enjoyed different applications of logic at each step. This is personally a 3-star for me.

JeremyDover: Thank you for the compliment! I'm not sure I have any other puzzles quite like this, but if you like Renbans, my "Lines of the Banner" also features them.
