I've recently been working on a paleo themed Cards aginst Humanity custom-deck, and would like some feedback. Mainly in regards to how funny some of the cards are, or wether or not some would be too esoteric.
Constructive critiscism is appreciated.
Feel free to make suggesstions to both black and white cards.

If enough people are interested, we could maybe have a game at some point.
Shame thee aren't a lot of people who might meet the definition of paleontology nerd who are active on the site. Honestly, the esotericness makes them better but… yeah most of this stuff is unfortunately going to go over the average person's head. Still, I'll contribute. Black cards all seem fine and pretty devoid of the esotericty though, and I think that is probably for the best.
Some I've not heard of personally, but I think that is sort of part of the fun, is that a lot of them have a story behind them.
Some ideas for black cards (much shorter sorry):
