Hey, first of all - I really adore the idea behind the cards, especially for animals, reflecting their instinctive behaviour. I'm planning to test the game soon. But I need some clarifications. How do stats work (in sense of mechanics/die rolls)? They are supposed to "determine the character’s abilities and effectiveness in various situations throughout the game", but I don't see any examples, except "while one (NPC) with high Strength could be pivotal in a confrontation with a hungry carnivore", but it isn't helpful. Am I missing something? Second - is there any difference between "Dinosaurs on the Brain" and "Animal Handling" expertises? They sound exactly the same. Do their effects stack? Another question - Search icon indicates, that an area is searchable and a 6 is a success, but some locations (e.g. bungalow) require halving the result. So according to the rules a PC cannot find anything there? Or they find something on a 3 (5-6 result on a die)? Or "natural" 6 always means success (I guess not, then halving makes no sense)? And last one - how does lethal damage work? The weapon cards lack any damage ratings. Does each weapon deal  1 damage per shot? Or some of them should be more lethal? Do PCs need to make a check to hit something? Anyway, great job!
