more horses?

What has changed among the animals on the table? There are 26 wooden animal meeples - seven sheep, seven pigs, six cows and six horses. Every player has a set of four guess cards in his color, showing one pig, one sheep, one cow and one horse.  The game master drops between 10 and 15 randomly taken animals onto the table; if he uses not enough or too many, and a player notices that, he is rewarded with a point. The game master then counts up to 10 while all players take a good look on the display and memorize it.

Then, on a signal, all close their eyes and the game master draws one action card and implements the action: Add the depicted animal on the card to the display or hide the depicted animal by taking it out of the display, or move the depicted animal to another place in the display or swap the positions of the two depicted animals within the display.

Then all open their eyes and the game master names the action that he did. All check the display and give a guess on the animal involved by laying out their respective guess card, or two cards for the swapping action. If you guessed correctly, you score one point. If nobody guessed correctly, the game master scores a point. Each player is game master for three rounds. When all players have been game master, you win with most points.

The variant for players ages 4+ is played without action cards. In turn, players relocate one animal, the others guess. You win with five points.

A very well-made variant of the NIM principle, using pretty components and simple rules, offering excellent practice for pattern recognition.
