interested to try this, thanks! I would suggest to clarify that bundles must be disjoint, i.e. can't reuse wild and joker cards (right?)
also, people would have questions like, what if the rank I have most of is 3s and they're all red? do I need to discard one of them if I get a bad bomb?
I see you have some coding background so my advice, really to all board/card-game designers, is to code up a minimal implementation to help you express and then write the rules as unambiguously as possible.
Yes, bundles need to stand on their own, so a 2 or joker or red 3 used in one bundle cannot also be used in another bundle.
Because red 3’s don’t have a “rank” unto themselves apart from being in a bundle, you wouldn’t have to discard one if you got a bad bomb. When I play, I have a separate pile for all of my wilds, and wait to add them to my bundles at the very end. You could choose to add your wilds to a bundle at any time though, or even move from one bundle to another, as long as again you only use each wild once.
