When you’re busy and have no time left, there is only one thing you can do: Start something new that even takes up more time!<\/p>\n
When I was playing a game of Catan, I realized that the shape of the segments in this game could also be used for a new puzzle format.<\/p>\n
A sudoku variant with hexagonal cells did exist, but it still had boxes and lines of equal length. So I decided to work out a concept with lines of different length, and drop the box constraint. This turned out to be a very good idea. With lines in 3 directions, the boxes would have so many intersections, that the puzzles would be too easy to solve.<\/p>\n
The lines with different size open the way to new solving techniques. I found 3 already, and more are waiting to be discovered by me or others.<\/p>\n
