Chaos Construction: Each row, column, and region contains the digits 1–6 exactly once each. A region is an orthogonally connected collection of cells, and regions are to be determined.
Region Rules: The number in the top left cell of a region specifies how many regions that cell is adjacent to orthogonally and diagonally (including itself).
Quadruples: Digits in a large circle must appear in at least one of the four cells surrounding the circle. Quadruple circles must touch four different regions.
White Kropki: Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive. Cells joined by a white dot are in DIFFERENT regions. Not all dots are necessarily given.
Black Kropki: Digits joined by a black dot are in the ratio 1:2. Cells joined by a black dot are in the SAME region. Not all dots are necessarily given.
This was the first puzzle I created with this ruleset. It was the inspiration for the puzzle I published yesterday which proved harder than I anticipated. I am hoping this one is more approachable and will help people get started with the new ruleset so they might be able to try the harder one.

changed description to say 1-6 instead of 1-9
