This is a comment to Confounding Calendar: Why are you requiring a specific color pallette last year? While it gives the games aunified look, it also controls potential themes. I’m really dissapointed in this change.

To this game: Incredible! Love deducing when the transformations need to happen based on what makes getting to the end impossible. Great job!

EVERY year of the Confounding Calendar requires a specific colour palette, and it's one of my favourite things about it, it leads to strikingly pretty games. The other rules also 'control potential themes' too. I prefer to think of it as restrictions breeding serendipity.

don't forget that one year where someone interoperated "at most one additional color" as the rules restriction for the actual puzzle

yeah I was thinking of that one too, total genius and no one would think of it UNLESS that specific palette was offered

“I’m really dissapointed in this change.” It’s not a change, it’s been like that since the Confounding Calendar started in 2021. The only exception was 2023, where participants could choose one extra colour in addition to the required colour palette.
