#A53: Tamago Town

 I think the theming is a great way to represent the novel logical idea of this genre. I initially expected the area size constraint to make it feel too tight, but the inclusion of question marks under the base ruleset compensates to make it looser. It also helps that the area size is chosen such that half the grid contains symbols, which is the middle ground between too congested and too open. In all, it manages to flow nicely despite rules requiring one of two combinations of symbol type per region.

A fun theme often leads to fun variants. The specific wording of this variant's rule made me chuckle a bit.
