Play Episode 1: Lost Sheep     Step 1- What is the ethical issue or problem?
A predator animal native to Braxos is attacking the sheep that the colony uses for food and clothes, but players learn that the predator also has medicinal value that could help
the colonists fight off disease. Which option to control the predator should be used?

Step 2- What facts have the greatest impact on the decision?
Step 3- Who could be affected by your decision? How?

You earn points by correctly identifying opinions, facts, or solutions.
Example:
Opinion- I hate math
Fact- 2+2=4
Solution- Use a calculator

Note that: 
You need to select a colonist and solution before you can play a fact card.
You score points for presenting solutions and for presenting relevant facts.
- The value of each fact card can drop after being played, so think carefully about
 which fact cards to play and when.

 
Step 5 What are 3 alternative actions? Who would be harmed by each choice? How? Are there automatic reasons to eliminate any choice?
