I feel like this version is subtly easier.

It is significantly easier if you have the patience to reason about it for a bit longer.

Yeah, I won the first time I played it, it's actually quite easy and expected to be so. I feel you could go very very far with it given the 27 slots.

It's not even that subtle, there's a lot more room and the extra dimension helps a lot in unscrewing yourself after filling the whole board.
