+# Official 6th Edition card list — PRIMARY SOURCE
+
+Transcribed from Eric's physical copy: photos in `research/scans/` (IMG_4665–4673).
+IMG_4671 is the base-game rulebook card list page; IMG_4673 is the Expansion Set #1
+rules-sheet card list. **These quantities supersede all web-derived guesses.**
+
+Both lists validate internally:
+- Base game: 91 spell/item/stone cards + 34 number cards = **125** ✓ (matches "deck of 125 cards" in Equipment)
+- Expansion #1: 61 spell cards + 14 number cards = **75** ✓ (matches "75 new cards" in its rules sheet)

+## Key rules confirmations from the scanned 6E rulebook (vs. web research)
+
+- Equipment: four boards, deck of 125 cards, two counter sheets, four plastic bases,
+  one die **numbered 1–4**.
+- Deal 7 cards; TRAP! drawn on the deal is discarded and redrawn. 15 life points,
+  no upper limit on gains. Turns clockwise, highest die roll starts.
+- Home base = exact center square; two treasures on the small circles on each sector.
+- Movement: up to 3 spaces + optionally ONE number card added to movement. Die never
+  used for movement.
+- Five card kinds: ATTACK, NEUTRAL, COUNTERACTION, NUMBER, MAGIC STONE.
+  ADJACENT / "L.O.S." corner markings; LOS is center-of-square to center-of-square
+  (text references center dots even though 6E boards dropped them — confirmed).
+- One ATTACK per turn; any number of NEUTRALs; COUNTERACTION is the only out-of-turn
+  play; counteractions resolve before attacks, can chain (counteract a counteraction);
+  half-damage counters round UP; if all damage stopped, secondary effects stopped too;
+  counteractions are instantaneous, affect only the one attack.
+- Number cards: three uses — movement boost, spell DURATION (turns), spell POWER.
+  Only one number card per action. Any card playable without a number card at
+  power/duration "1". **No "1" number cards exist.**
+- Turn structure: move/attack/neutrals in any order, movement can be split around
+  actions. Picking up an object ENDS your turn (drawing cards still allowed).
+  Draw up to two cards, only at end of YOUR turn, hand limit seven (immediate
+  discard-down when over).
+- Objects: only one treasure carried at a time; treasures don't count against hand;
+  treasures may not be thrown. Magic stones & Master Key displayed face-up after
+  first use, still part of 7-card hand. Kill an opponent → take all his cards,
+  discard down to 7. Physical actions (picking/removing/jamming locks, throwing
+  daggers) are NOT spells.
+- Combat: no combat during the FIRST round of turns; cannot attack yourself (6E
+  addition, confirmed); spells auto-hit unless counteracted; PUNCH = no card,
+  1 damage, same square (adjacent for square-filling objects), counts as the attack.
+  Wall takes 20 damage to destroy, door 15. Only walls/doors/thornbushes are
+  attackable inanimates. Physical vs magical damage distinction as researched.
+- Map changes: no creating objects on home bases or occupied spaces; walls only on
+  lines between spaces, never diagonal; no-duration cards are permanent (CREATE WALL)
+  or instantaneous (FIREBALL). ROTATE/RELOCATE vs sector-junction alterations:
+  50-50 die roll for which sector keeps the change.
+- Doors: locked at all times, auto-relock after passage; can cast through an opened
+  door without passing through; can't follow someone through a door unless they
+  "hold it open"; only REMOVE LOCK jams a door open.
+- Board wraparound: lettered exits connect opposite edges at matching points;
+  smashing a wall next to a lettered exit creates a matching re-entry point on the
+  opposite edge. Double wall at sector junction = single wall. AUTO WARP: 3-player
+  game only; not a space; straight line for LOS; discarded if a sector is RELOCATEd;
+  unaffected by ROTATION.
+- The Die: only for random directions / 50-50 calls (1,2 low / 3,4 high).
+- Death: dead player's home base invalid for others' wins; his treasures remain
+  usable; die-while-winning = died first, eliminated.
+- Turn definition for durations: "a turn starts when a spell is cast and ends at the
+  beginning of one of the caster's turns."
+- Expansion #1 rules (monsters, magic wands): monsters obey creator (except IMP),
+  move on controller's turn, attack once per turn but not the turn created (creating
+  one IS your attack that turn), can't hurt creators/carry items/cast spells/use
+  hand cards, no number cards on their movement (but NEUTRALs castable on them),
+  killing player's cards do NOT go to monster's controller, monster doesn't count as
+  a card in hand, dies with its creator. Wands: charges set by number card at first
+  use, max once per turn, non-rechargeable, transfer with ownership (charges intact);
+  AMPLIFY/ADD work when setting charges; SPEED/ADRENALINE don't increase wand rate;
+  usable under NO SPELL; ABSORB SPELL has no effect on wands. Wands don't burn.
