Verify final card texts from photos of Eric's physical cards

IMG_4680-4683: Butt-Head and Mega-Monster (the last two cards with no
text from any source) transcribed verbatim; Force Field, Gift From
Above, Redirection, Dimensional Warp renames confirmed; Troll, Wraith,
Skeleton, Thought Steal, Warp Wand, Sticky Wand faces verified; number
cards confirmed to carry no rules text. cards.json is now 208 verbatim
/ 9 paraphrased / 3 uncertain (all Exp2, not owned). VERIFICATION.md
updated to v3 with all priority checks done.

## 📷 Remaining — card-face spot-checks
## ✅ Done — card-face spot-checks (owner's photos IMG_46804683, 2026-08-15)
The `text` in cards.json comes from the 5e-era card database, not from 6e card faces.
One photo per card below settles the flagged uncertainties (status `uncertain` in
cards.json); a batch photo of the rest of the deck's faces would upgrade every card
to fully verified but is optional.
All priority card-face checks are resolved; cards.json updated with verbatim text:
Priority cards to photograph (front, text legible):
- ~~BUTT-HEAD~~ — ATTACK, no LOS: turn into a goat, ram; physical damage = distance moved.
- ~~MEGA-MONSTER~~ — NEUTRAL, L.O.S.: doubles a monster's life-points OR movement.
- ~~GIFT FROM ABOVE~~ — rename from "Gift From God" CONFIRMED (NEUTRAL, no LOS).
- ~~DIMENSIONAL WARP~~ — rename from "Permawarp" CONFIRMED (NEUTRAL; rewritten text captured).
- ~~REDIRECTION~~ — rename from "Rewarp" CONFIRMED (NEUTRAL; rewritten text captured).
- ~~Wands~~ — WARP WAND and STICKY WAND faces confirm "Wand" titles and charge rules.
- ~~SKELETON / TROLL / WRAITH~~ — printed titles are the short names (no "Create ...").
- ~~FORCE FIELD~~ — face matches the FAQ-recovered text (card has printed typo "cating").
- ~~Number cards~~ — base-deck faces 26 photographed: NO rules text, just the value in a
distinct decorative border per value. (An Exp1 number-card face was not photographed —
presumed identical; cosmetic question only.)
- ~~THOUGHT-STEAL~~ — card face prints "THOUGHT STEAL" (unhyphenated); rulebook list hyphenates.
- [ ] **BUTT-HEAD** and **MEGA-MONSTER** (Exp1) — no text, type, or LOS/ADJACENT
marking is known from ANY source. These are the only two cards in cards.json
with `text: null`.
- [ ] **GIFT FROM ABOVE** (Exp1) — presumed to be the card the 5e database calls
"Gift From God"; confirm title and text.
- [ ] **DIMENSIONAL WARP** (Exp1) — presumed = "Permawarp"; confirm.
- [ ] **REDIRECTION** (Exp1) — presumed = "Rewarp"; confirm.
- [ ] One **wand** card (e.g. BLASTER WAND) — confirm printed titles say "Wand"
(5e database says "Stick").
- [ ] **SKELETON**, **TROLL**, **WRAITH** (Exp1) — confirm whether the printed titles
are the short names or "Create Skeleton/Troll/Wraith".
- [ ] **FORCE FIELD** (Exp1) — text in cards.json is the FAQ's verbatim quote;
spot-check against the card.
- [ ] One **number card** face from the base deck and one from Exp1 (printed text
is undocumented; also confirms whether the two sets' number cards differ).
- [ ] **THOUGHT-STEAL** — confirm hyphenation of the printed title.
- [ ] Optional sweep: photograph the remaining card faces in batches of ~912 to
verify all wording verbatim (art may differ from the 5e scans the database used).
Remaining (optional): batch-photograph the rest of the deck faces to upgrade every card's
5e-database text to 6e-face-verified wording. Only 3 `uncertain` cards remain in
cards.json, all Expansion #2 (not owned): Load Stone & Fighterstone type conflicts,
Random's Card naming.
## 🗺️ Remaining — boards (ASSIGNED to a separate agent; do not duplicate)
## ✅ Done — boards (verified by agent from owner's photos IMG_46744679)
Board photo verification is in progress elsewhere. For reference, the open items are:
doors on Layouts D and F, which 4 of the 6 layouts are in the base box, which layout
was replaced before 7e, board backs, and the setup-diagram letters / AUTO WARP
diagram. Results land in `boards.json`.
All six layouts CONFIRMED EXACT with zero corrections, including the D and F doors;
each layout appears exactly once; perimeter openings verified on all 24 edges; the
"center dot on every space" claim was disproven (no dots on physical boards). See
`research/boards-verification.md`. Still historical-only open items: which 4 layouts
shipped in the base box (boards unlabeled; art style suggests E+F are the Exp1 pair),
which layout was replaced before 7e, board backs.
