Not Transcribed (Gaps)
The sheets are card-only. The following content is not legible or not present on the sheets, and is not transcribed or inferred:
- Unseen Village numbered cards 1 to 45: on the sheet these faces show only the deck title and card number. No rules text is legible on any of them.
- Unseen Village special rules cards 23, 24 and 39: referenced by the chapter setups above but not present on the sheets.
- Introduction card: titled "INTRODUCTION" with no rules text legible.
- Chapter rules and setup flow: the sheets give enemy lists and tile lists per chapter, but no sequencing, scoring, or chapter-end rules.
- Yahar'gul tile rules: the tile is titled "Advent Plaza" with no legible rules text. Its role in the chapters is not stated on the sheets.
- Icon before "x2 Random (Max 5)" in Chapter 1 setup: not legible at sheet resolution.
- Insight-only cards (icons with no printed text) on the One Reborn sheet, which are not identified here.
- Hunter Mob, Scourge Beast and other base-game enemies on the base enemy sheet: not part of this expansion's transcription.
