Similarly, a slight disadvantage to whichever color matches the start of the bridge, especially the first one, as that player gets a double move out of a single of their own color. Possible fix: allow move-2 cards to traverse bridge after 1, or allow turning a move 2 (natural or color-match) into move 1 (although in what other situation would you want to do that?)

Ideas for other mechanics: blocker cards – a color-match card can be played out-of-turn to block any other card played. A single can block a (non-color-matched) single, a double can block a color-matched single, a non-color-matched double or a pink. color-matched doubles are unblockable, including the free move.

Board power zones the pink squares divide the board into overlapping zones, with each zone going from the previous pink to the next (i.e., the pepermint stick zone goes from imediately after the candy hearts square to immediately before the gingerbread man square). A pink card can be played with another card to create an effect on all players in the zone – play with an orange card to create a sticky zone (all movement reduced by 1), with a purple card to create a rich zone (draw an extra card on your turn while in that zone), a green card to create a peace zone (everyone in zone is immune to other cards and cannot play cards on others), red to create a forbidden zone (everyone in zone is immediately moved away from the zone control space to the edge of the zone, and no one may enter the zone in any way until the effect is lifted), etc. Zone powers stay in effect for one turn, plus one turn for each square played (i.e., a 1-spot card makes the effect last 2 turns, a 2-spot lasts 3 turns) and extra cards including of other colors can be used also to extend the effect.
