The main issue is the wording of the Crippling card discarding. In the turn overview, "Turn your Issues dormant" should add "/discard Crippling Issues." Later the rules says, "At the end of your turn, all Issues becomes dormant" then contradictorily "After you’ve finish a turn with an Issue in its Crippling stage, they do not become dormant." This could be reorganized to be more clear... If you score all dice and reroll and get no scoring dice, do you lose your score? While the scoring and gameplay are fairly simple, a couple complete examples would be helpful. Other details... "Stack multiple issues in the same pile" should specify "of the same type." Typo: "Dormant issues to not affect your turn." For how many dice, it should be "fewer" not "less" and "number" not "amount."

Not necessary.

End Point 5/6

What happens if someone ties the leading score? Does play continue until someone takes the lead and the others have a chance to try to beat it?

Overall Comprehension 3/4

The only question, mentioned above, is if you score all dice and reroll and get no scoring dice, do you lose your score?

Clarity 3/3

Very few errors.

Presentation 2/2

Excellent graphic design.

It might also mention cards.

Backdrop 1/1

The cartoon character is fun.

Logo 1/1

Action Shots 4/5

The shots look good in an artistic way, but it would also be good to show some cards clearly. These could simply be copied from your website.

The intro is interesting and the following text does a good job of explaining and selling the game.
