Eric's question cut to the bone: "How would a user know? It matched
wiz-war and that IS the game." The auto looked unanimous because the
matcher discarded the evidence of doubt before anyone saw it — and
worse, BGG's search hides evidence of its own: results truncate
unordered in the several-hundreds (the game named "Dungeon!" appears
in NEITHER the "Dungeon!" nor the "Dungeon" search), and punctuation
can bury matches.
Three matcher changes: every title is searched raw AND depuncted,
merged by id; a name that becomes exact once its trailing
parenthetical is stripped ("Wiz-War (Eighth Edition)") is a sibling
edition — BGG files new editions as separate games — and enters the
candidate set at exact grade, so same-named lineages land in review as
a visible choice; and a LONE candidate must now earn trust (stats
fetched, sibling-grade never autos alone, true exacts must clear the
dominance ownership floor) — closing the fast path both impostors
(.dungeon at 31 owners, then Dungeon (ICP)) walked through.
Recorded outcomes: WIZ-WAR → ambiguous with all three lineages on the
ballot; Dungeon! → ambiguous (its true match is beyond BGG's search
horizon — that's what manual id is for); every legitimate auto in the
fixture set held. And the answer to Eric's second question is now
structural: re-match never re-decides — it demotes to unmatched and
the HUMAN picks from re-search or manual id; the machine only chooses
on first resolve, and it now chooses more humbly.

<description>Sorcerer is a fantasy wargame. Each player has an army consisting of Sorcerers, human infantry, and magical units (trolls, demons, and dragons). Sorcerers specialize in types of magic represented by 7 different colors. Sorcerer adds a twist to the old "combat differential" system (attack strength minus defense strength) by adding a circular system of combat bonuses based upon what colors of magic are attacking each other; Blue/Green/Yellow/Grey/Orange/Red/Purple with each color having a strong advantage over it's neighbor to the right (with Purple circling around to have power over Blue) and a disadvantage against it's neighbor to the left, with lessening combat bonuses the further away the color is from itself. Combat bonuses are also given based on map position as the hexes alternate colors of magic instead of representing physical terrain. Attacking from one's own color is good.
|
||
|
||
Several different scenarios are included in the rulebook that range from 1 to 6 players.
