Play Episode 1: Lost Sheep
Step 1- What is the ethical issue or problem?

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?
