Thank you for the response, that's extremely helpful guidance. We're gathering again for a game tonight so I'll relay this info. Much appreciated as always.

My gaming group just had our first run of the game. Everybody loves it, but I did face similar questions from my group as Haakwurm. If you could provide some clarity, I think the biggest questions that came up are:

1. In combat, what are the intended results for player who don't have weapons or choose not to attack, thus no way to reduce the Attack Card deck? For example, in an encounter with Compys, only one player had found a weapon and the others were doing actions like hiding or unarmed kicks/stomps. At the time, I ruled characters who successfully hide don't get attacked or kicking a Compy stuns it for one round, but I'd appreciate your advice.
2. During an Apex Predator attack, what determines how the encounter ends? Since it uses all Attack Cards, do players just need to survive long enough through hiding and distracting to deplete the whole deck or do the Attack Cards get shuffled? Do the players all need to leave the hex they're in or does the Apex Predator follow? This kinda goes hand-in-hand with question 1, since we're trying to understand the result of non-combat related actions.

Regardless of these first-time hiccups, everybody had a blast and enjoyed the rules-lite nature of the game. We all really got into it and have decided to continue playing.

Thanks so much! That's extremely helpful. :)

@EdgeofChaos first of all, thank you so much for putting this together. It's amazing!

Second, below is the count of each card I employed based on your comment and inferring the rest from what I think was the intent. Please let me know if you'd have any recommendations to adjust these numbers:

1. 1x each of Apex Predator, Attack, Chaos, Characters, and Locations cards.
2. Carnivores includes 1x each, except:
   1. 2x Herrerrasaurus, Pteranodon
   2. 3x Proceratosaurus
   3. 5x Compsognathus, and Velociraptor
3. Herbivores includes 1x each, except:
   1. 2x Parasaurolophus
   2. 5x Gallimimus
4. Items includes 1x each, except:
   1. 2x Flashlight, Handheld Radio, and Raincoat
   2. 3x of Canteen and Flare

5. Vehicles includes 1x each, except:
