I've always been a fan of logic puzzles like the Queens game that became popular on LinkedIn, but I felt the core mechanic was a bit one-dimensional and lacked strategic depth. I wanted to see if I could create a more challenging version for myself and other puzzle lovers.
The main twist in Enhanced Queens Game is the introduction of "colored regions" as a third constraint, on top of the classic row and column rules. The goal is now to place one queen per row, column, AND region, while also adhering to a new adjacency rule (queens can't touch on any of the 8 surrounding squares). This transforms the puzzle into a much deeper spatial reasoning challenge.
I'd love to hear any feedback you have, especially on the new 'region' mechanic, the difficulty curve, or any UI/UX suggestions.
Thanks for checking it out!

I love playing queens (and tango) on LinkedIn every morning. It’s doing its job and bringing me back every day.
How is your version different than the one on LinkedIn? I played one game on yours and it seems the same but maybe I missed something.
Also, the crown is really hard to see for me with some color blindness. I ended up clicking crown squares to mark them a few times without realizing they already had a crown there.

Nice work overall!
