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!

That's an excellent question, and you're right that the first few levels are designed to feel very familiar to ease players in. The main differences in Enhanced Queens Game really start to shine on the more complex boards:
The Colored Regions: My version adds a third, crucial rule – you must have only one queen per colored region, in addition to one per row and column. This introduces a new layer of spatial reasoning that completely changes the strategy.
The Adjacency Rule: Queens cannot be placed in any of the 8 squares immediately surrounding another queen (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).
And thank you especially for the feedback on the crown's visibility for players with color blindness. This is incredibly helpful and something I hadn't fully considered. Accessibility is very important, and I will definitely work on a fix to improve the contrast or add a more distinct visual indicator for the queens. I've logged this as a high-priority task.
Thanks again for the fantastic feedback! It's invaluable for a solo developer like me. I hope you'll give some of the later levels a try and see the new mechanics in full action!
