Jigsaw sudoku

A 6×6 sudoku with oddly shaped regions.

Like the mini sudoku, but the boxes aren't rectangles: they're 6-cell regions with irregular shapes, marked with a thick border. Every row, every column and every region has 1 to 6 without repeating.

You all play the same board and every number you get right is yours. On easy the regions are almost rectangular; on hard, really odd and with fewer numbers given. You can play 1 vs 1, with three or four players, in pairs (2 vs 2), against bots of four levels or in a private room with your friends.

How to play

You all play the same jigsaw sudoku at once, each with your own colour.
Every row, every column and every region (the thick-bordered ones) has 1 to 6 without repeating.
If you're right, the square is yours and everyone sees it. Whoever places the most numbers wins.
If you're wrong, you lose 1 point and sit out for 3 s.
In 2 vs 2, partners add up their points: red and yellow against blue and green.

Tips

Follow the thick border: each region has 6 cells, one of each number.
Long regions cross several rows: use them to rule numbers out.
Tap a number on the board to see where it's repeated.
