IMG_4691-4692: Create Pit, Deja-Vu, Disease (ATTACK/ADJACENT),
Adrenaline, Big Man, Blaster Wand, Glue, Handful Of Tacks
(NEUTRAL/ADJACENT, "Not a spell"), Heave-Ho, Dust Cloud, Fill Square
With Slime, and Fire Imp — all texts now verbatim from Eric's 6e-era
Expansion Set #1 faces with printed corner types and targeting
markings. These are data-only fixes (none of the twelve is implemented
in the engine yet); the corrected texts and metadata become the
authority when the expansion wave is built. Notable for that future
work: Disease is adjacency-triggered contagion, Heave-Ho throws
carried treasures as weapons, Dust Cloud is a permanent blind-zone,
and Fire Imp is an auto-attacking turret with waterbolt/waterwall as
its counters.

Eric spotted mismatches between the 5e-database-derived card data and
his physical 6e cards (photos IMG_4688-4690). All 15 texts are now
verbatim from the faces. Four were mechanical, now fixed in the
engine: BLIND's 6e text adds "engage in combat" — blinded punches
flail on a die roll; PICK LOCK's face states "This is not a spell" —
the lock cards and thrown weapons are physical actions NO SPELL cannot
silence; MIST-BODY passes doors and drifts through thornbushes but
does NOT pass the maze's stone walls (was backwards); WALL OF FIRE's
counteraction mode stops a Waterbolt (previously deferred). Metadata:
UGLY is L.O.S.-marked, MASTER KEY is NEUTRAL/ADJACENT, WIZARDBLADE
and PICK LOCK carry ADJACENT markings (new `adjacent` field), LARGE
ROCK is rethrowable by any player (already engine behavior),
BRAINSTONE's face has no corner type. 84 tests passing.

IMG_4684-4687: all 33 token types, six double-sided wizard standees
(front and back views), and 12 color-keyed treasure tokens documented
in research/tokens-6e.md. Verification checklist is now fully closed.

Owner-measured: sector boards are 7.5in to a side (1.5in per space);
no errata sheet in the 6e box. Closes the physical checklist except
the optional counter-sheet inventory.

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.

cards.json: 220 cards across base/Exp1/Exp2 with official 6E quantities
from Eric's rulebook (base = exactly 125, Exp1 = exactly 75), verbatim
text for all but two cards, FAQ rulings, and per-card verification
flags. boards.json: all six sector layouts, now physically verified
against Eric's board photos with zero corrections (research/
boards-verification.md), plus 2-8 player setup configurations.
rules-notes.md is the engine implementer's reference; VERIFICATION.md
tracks the few remaining spot-checks (Butt-Head and Mega-Monster card
text foremost).

IMG_4674-4679: the four base-game boards plus the two Expansion Set #1
boards, photographed straight-down. These supersede the low-res BGG
scans as the authoritative source for wall and door positions.

Primary source photos of the complete 6th edition rulebook and the
Expansion Set #1 rules sheet, both including official card lists with
quantities. Transcribed to official-6e-card-list.md; both lists sum
exactly to their stated deck sizes (125 and 75), closing the biggest
research gaps: per-card quantities and number-card distribution.

Assembled from the Wayback Machine (Tom Jolly's wizwar.com), BGG, and
fan archives: 5E rules transcription (6E is a light revision), Jolly's
2002 FAQ, ~208-card Chessex-era card pool with mechanics, all six
sector board layouts reconstructed from photos + fan redraws, and
setup diagrams. Gaps flagged for verification against Eric's copy.
