it was confusing to figure out how to place animals down onto my island, I consistently had glitched or broken cards, and the cards I did have were off to the right side of my screen.
I'm guess you restarted at some point. The restart flow does break the cards like you are saying and they go off the right side of the screen. I also just noticed some bug (Unity level bug) that the text disappears if you go into full screen mode and then do an interaction with the hex grid, or something like that. It isn't very reproducible.
