What a mad ruleset. I love it.

One of my favorite new rulesets / puzzles. Took a little mental effort, but was fairly intuitive and found i was solving vs. just trying to do new rule gymnastics

That was fun, the effect of the cages were really interesting.

That was a nice new variation.

Very good fun. Found it easier than disjoint sets, as I could colour things in better, the sets are smaller and/or contiguous compared to 9 separate cells.
