The real-data era: token live, stubs retired, editions on demand

Browse Source 
BGG application approved. The migration the stub markers guarded for
weeks: both synthetic caches deleted; tests/fixtures/bgg_cache
re-recorded from the live API (recording list extended to every
scenario the suite exercises — Civilization truncation, the Sorcerer
SPI tiebreak, StarForce, Flat Top's thematic year, Alice Is Missing's
rpgitem fallback); resolve --force re-matched all 133 titles for real
(109 auto, 6 ambiguous, 18 unmatched, 30 edition ballots);
data/STUB_DATA.marker deleted with its exit condition met — the guard
mechanism stays armed should stubs ever regenerate.

Reality fixed one bug and taught one lesson. The bug: a multi-type
search lists an expansion twice (once per matched type) and the parser
kept the generic boardgame entry — parse_search now dedupes by id
preferring the specific type, which is what keeps expansion tagging
(the base-vs-expansion review guard) alive on real data. The lesson:
hand-built ambiguity is tidier than the real thing — Wingspan has 46
versions with three plausible English Stonemaier printings, so the
suite's synthetic version ids and version_auto expectations became
real ballots (assertions updated to recorded reality; the cue-plumbing
test keeps its crafted two-version scenario via an injected
transport).

New: pick edition. A cue-less matched row is version_unknown by design
(never guess) — but the owner knows which printing the box is.
open_version_ballot() fetches the game's complete version list,
cue-scores it when cues exist, and marks the row version_ambiguous so
the normal Review edition pass presents it; the Titles page grows the
button (Eric's three Wiz-Wars: two cue-less copies can now each claim
their edition).

<name type="primary" sortindex="1" value="Advanced Civilization" />
<description>The use of the word "Advanced" to describe this expansion followed existing Avalon Hill tradition. "Enhanced" is likely more appropriate. Playing with this expansion is no more difficult than playing the base Civilization game. This expansion reworks a few of the original rules, includes a reworked version of Civilization: Expansion Trade Cards Set and adds more civilization advancements to the technology tree.
Included are more civilization advancements (both quantity and type), which give the players new options for advancement, as well as a slightly restructured commodity trading round, which has new resources and disasters to be traded. The most significant aspect of the game is a restructuring of the advancement/victory conditions, which remove the limits on advancement cards. Some claim this makes the strategies more homogeneous while others claim the reverse is true.
