A Camel's Tour (Camel Move/Kropki)
(Published on 24. February 2025, 21:13 by damo_89)
This puzzle came about as after a serendipitous discussion on Twitch with TonberryJava who mentioned the idea of combining the camel's move with kropki. As a new rule (as far as I know), it is a little difficult to judge difficulty so I am pitching at 3 stars. Good luck!
- Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column and 3x3 box
- Camel Kropki: A camel's move in fairy chess is 3 squares forward and 1 square to the side. A camel in a black circle indicates that all cells a camel's move away must be either double or half the digit in the circle. A camel in a white circle indicates that all cells a camel's move away must be consecutive with the digit in the circle.

Nice puzzle! Felt more 2* to me personally
Damo: Thank you for the kind words. I plumped for 3 due to the unorthodox scanning and being a new constraint, but can see argument for 2.
