6th-Edition Verification Checklist — v3 (post card-face + board photos)
Status update: the owner's photos of the 6e rulebook and Expansion #1 rules sheet
(research/scans/ IMG_4665–4673, transcribed in research/official-6e-card-list.md)
have resolved most of the original checklist. Membership and quantities for the 6e
basic deck (69 unique + 34 numbers = 125) and Expansion #1 (59 unique + 14 numbers
= 75) are now OFFICIAL and encoded in cards.json.
✅ Done (answered by the scans — no photos needed)
Full deck census / per-card quantities— official rulebook + Exp1 card lists.Number-card spread— base 2×12/3×10/4×7/5×4/6×1; Exp1 has its own: 2×5/3×4/4×3/5×2.Dispel Creation membership— ×1 basic AND ×2 Exp1 (the "125th card" question is closed).Bomb— on neither official list; not in this collection (presumed Exp2/7e-era).Trap!, Speedstone— confirmed ×1 each in the basic deck.Force Field— official Exp1 card ×1 (the FAQ's "mystery card" identified).The die— equipment list: one die numbered 1–4.Rulebook wording items— first-round "no combat" phrasing, punch/wall(20)/door(15) damage, pick-up-ends-turn, door auto-relock, 50-50 junction rule, AUTO WARP details, LOS center-to-center (still references the dropped center dots), ADJACENT/L.O.S. markings, hand/draw limits — all confirmed; see rules-notes.md "RESOLVED" section.
✅ Done — card-face spot-checks (owner's photos IMG_4680–4683, 2026-08-15)
All priority card-face checks are resolved; cards.json updated with verbatim text:
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 2–6 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.
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.
✅ Done — boards (verified by agent from owner's photos IMG_4674–4679)
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.
📐 Remaining — physical odds and ends
- Physical dimensions of a sector board (one photo next to a ruler/tape).
- Errata sheet — check the box for any loose insert (the 5e shipped one).
- Optional: token/counter-sheet photo (inventory is undocumented; the rulebook confirms "two counter sheets" but not their contents).
📦 If Expansion Set #2 is ever acquired
Owner does not own Exp2; its 85 entries in cards.json keep null quantities. A census would resolve: quantities, the 85-cards-vs-88-names arithmetic, Bomb's true home, the Full Shield / Pick Lock / Reflection reprints, and the 16 Artifact cards (no scans of them exist anywhere online — photograph individually).
