## Acknowledgements and Changes
Thanks to @JackLance and @Edderiofer for finding non-uniquenesses in the largest puzzle, now fixed
Thanks to @fff for embracing the [tricklayer] genre and for feedback that lead to improved aux marks and more!

**2023-12-14** Added the variant ´´chopped´´ to tricklayer, so now all rectangles must be at least 2 tiles thick and have one corner tile removed! Minor style changes. Fixed a regression found by @PinkHoodie - thank you!
**2023-12-17** Suggestion by @AnuragSahay: the variant ´´territory-adjacent-area-consecutive´´ was added to tricklayer (and similar genres), so now all rectangles must have at least one adjacent rectangle with an area differing by 1 tile
**2023-12-19** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie sent a puzzle making use of the //chopped// variant
**2024-03-01** @EliDoris [modernised|../panels#modern] [Tricklayer]. Thank you!
