Maybe this is a language issue.

When I read "you gain 1 stamina", while I'm at mine max stamina, can I still get one more?

For example mine stamina maximum is 7 and I have already 7 stamina on mine card and I draw a card with this text, is it then possible to get mine stamina to 8?

Thx

If you're supposed to gain sanity or stamina and you're already at your maximum, you get nothing. There are very rare cards which can raise your maximum sanity and stamina, but they state so specifically. Otherwise, you're out of luck -- but in the grand scheme of things, you could have gotten a far worse encounter.
