Hi HN, I'm the creator of this project.

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!
