RULE SET:
Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each row, column, and box.
GERMAN WHISPER (GREEN): Adjacent digits along a green German Whispers line must differ by at least 5. Digits may repeat if other rules allow.
RENBAN (PURPLE): Digits along a purple Renban line must be a set of consecutive non-repeating digits, and may appear in any order.
NABNER (GOLD): Digits along a gold Nabner line must be set of non-consecutive non-repeating digits, and may appear in any order.
REGION SUM (BLUE): digits on the blue region sum line have an equal sum N within each box it passes through.
For our color blind friends:

German Whisper lines (3 total): The line that look like a big "J" box 2. The remaining two each start in box 5, one starts at R5C6 and the other starts at R6C6.
Nabner lines (5 total): R1C3 to R4C4, R5C2 to R5C4, R7C2 to R7C3, R1C8 to R3C7, and R8C5 to R9C6.
Renban lines (6 total). All remaining lines are renban, all 3-cell straight lines.

Very difficult for me, but once started, the clues seemed to show me where I needed to really concentrate

ebiggie, I appreciate you a lot. Thanks for this puzzle. It introduced me a bit more to nabner lines as well as more about renbans. I actually found this more difficult than the 1 star rating, but it was still a great puzzle.
Thanks as always.
