JCloisterZone Fan Edition

[Bumsakalaka]

As last update of JCZ was made almost 2 years ago, there is created Fan Edition of this popular game.
Unfortunately it is for now only for Windows 10/11. Linux distribution is preparing but as nobody has Mac, we are not able to create a Mac build.

This edition is create for testing purposes of new ideas for official distribution, which allows us to test also new Fan expansions, new UX approach etc.

Differences between Official 5.12.1 and Fan Edition 5.13.4

Bug fixes:
1. Fixed Acrobats in Final scoring stats
2. Allow to play multiple wells expansions as feature defined in JCZ (not in plugin file).
3. Fixed setup of count of Abbots when garden set.

UX improvements:
1. Phantom as last option in action phase (Placement of meeple, Return of Abbot, Princess, etc.)
   After Phantom phase, all other options are missing, but phantom can be placed as 2nd figure.
2. Highlight all features for active action - Figure placement, Acrobats scoring, Castle token placement
3. Allowing of garden automatically turn on Abbot. Disallowing of garden keep Abbot as is.
4. Always rotate tile to first possible rotation during tile placement (as in JCZ 4.x)

New Expansions:
1. Fan expansion https://wikicarpedia.com/car/The_Obelisk_(Fan_Expansion)
   Special Figure Obelisk for each player placed to field corner and scored 16 points
2. Fan expansion https://wikicarpedia.com/car/Family_Feud_(Fan_Expansion)
    Cities with different color of pennant (shield) where city segments with different colors (families) can not be merged

Development stuff:
1. Updated test runner for automated tests
2. Save automated test scenario from existing game with automatically generated assertions
3. StringStrictMergingModifier to find conflict when testing Families tile placement positions

Be aware, it is testing build, so it can happen that something will not working. Please let us know here.
And it can be downloaded here.

Interesting that you're continuing the work on it Are you planning on opening a repository for the changes? I might be able to contribute some minor things as well as potentially make a macOS build for myself.

Ohh! That's amazing, great news! But my question still kinda stands - is there repository somewhere available? I would like to contribute, there are some bugs that exist only in macOS version.
