I have already had a big advantage from going first at the beginning. But this was the first try at this game so I guess we were learning about it as it went along. I think each player should be allowed to start an orbit, but can play in either of the orbits in play at the time. However you can only start a new orbit when the orbit you started is filled.

I played in r6c6 by the way following your lead in r6c4.

Assuming you played a 2 in r5c9 there's still some cells to be filled. Admittedly it doesn't affect the result. But if we want to print the resulting sudoku puzzle... Anyway thanks for the game
