BremSter solves "More X!" by Virtual.
This Seasonal Sudoku uses the Diagonal (aka Sudoku X), Consecutive Pairs and X Pairs constraints.

📋 Puzzle Rules:
• Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 in each row, column and box without repetition.
• Diagonal: Digits may not repeat along either of the marked diagonals.
• Consecutive Pairs: Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive.
• X Pairs: Digits separated by an X sum to 10.
• Not all dots or Xs are necessarily given.

Thanks for the solve!

This one was a touch more tricksy than my typical puzzle. I found that pattern of Xs along the diagonal and had a blast seeing how it all came crashing down with just two givens and a consecutive dot.

I have been waiting for this puzzle pack. Great puzzle

46:40 with lots of help.

Very cool puzzle.

Bit tricky in some parts.

Nice solve by Bremster.


Another viewpoint on the dominoes in box 6/9. ( I'll use Bremster's colors for reference).

Once you get the V to 1/4.

The purple is either 1/9 or 4/6.

If they are 4/6 then the yellow domino is 1/9.

If that is the case then the digits 1/4/6 have to go into box 3 column 8.

Which puts 3 digits into 2 cells because of the existing 9.

Hopefully this different viewpoint helps someone 😊.

this sudoku's title would be more christmassy in spanish

What a tricky one. 123m for me, and I still needed help with the video for one clue (where 2 goes in box3) which cleared up a lot of pencil marks!
Broke through in the end !

17:46 not easy, but pencilmark helped me one more time!

At 3:24 BremSter said "there must be an 8 in one of these 2" (r3 c1/2) -- I cannot see why (at that point in the solve) an 8 couldn't go into C1 R1/2. Can somebody explain for me?

The rules description leaves out the V constraint.

While it didn't hurt me too much in the previous puzzle, the special font absolutely wrecked my scanning and I had to give up after nearly 14 minutes and try again with the normal number font. This time I was able to actually scan and finished in 11:40 (conflict checker off), but definitely would have taken at least another 5-10 minutes without my initial attempt. Oh well, it was still a fun puzzle, many thanks to Virtual for it and to BremSter for presenting it (and getting through it with the special font)!
