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).

6th-Edition Verification Checklist — v2 (post rulebook/Exp1 scans)
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.
📷 Remaining — card-face spot-checks
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.
Priority cards to photograph (front, text legible):
- 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 ~9–12 to verify all wording verbatim (art may differ from the 5e scans the database used).
🗺️ Remaining — boards (ASSIGNED to a separate agent; do not duplicate)
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.
📐 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).
