Proposal: chain reaction

In the Collect Match action, replace “Collect the group of all selected cells, collecting cells with the lowest column first and then for those with the same column the highest row first.” with “Collect the group of all selected cells, ordering them with the lowest column first and then for those with the same column the highest row first.”

In “Collecting Cells” replace “Collecting a Cell” with “Collecting a group of Cells”, and replace the steps in the atomic action within that rule with

* Start with a list of cells, known as the collection list. While the collection list is not empty, repeat the following steps
** Take the first cell from the collection list
** If that cell is a Bonus cell and its contents are Lemon, Orange, Kiwi, Grape, Cherry or Star, increase the Puzzler’s corresponding stat for the content of that cell by 1
** If that cell is a Trap cell and its contents are Lemon, Orange, Kiwi, Grape, Cherry or Star, decrease the Puzzler’s corresponding stat for the content of that cell by 3 (to a minimum of 0)
** Set the Cell Target to be an Empty Cell
** If the contents of that Cell are Bomb, add all non-Empty plain cells that are adjacent to it, including cells whose Rows and Columns both differ from the selected cell by 1, to the Collection List
** If the contents of that Cell are Bomb, set the Cell Target to be a Frozen Cell, and set all plain cells that are not in the collection list and are adjacent to it to be Frozen Cells
** If its contents are Lightning Bolt, set the Cell Target to be a Trap Cell collect that cell and then set it to be a Trap Cell
** Set the contents of that cell to be empty
** Make the cell whatever the current Cell Target is
** Remove that cell from the collection list

Replace the entirety of the contents of the Activate turn action (but don’t change the cost) with the following

Collect a cell whose contents are Bomb, Snowflake or Lightning Bolt

Trying to make it so that bombs, lightening bolts and snowflakes trigger on collect so that way bombs can trigger other things.

also flipping bombs to be bigger and snowflakes to be smaller because I think that is more fun

You wrote “If the contents of that cell are Bomb” twice; second one should be Snowflake.

Lightning Bolt looks like it has some unintended text at the end.

I like the idea, though the implementation is a bit complicated.
