About the game
Welcome to the world of breeding even-toed ungulates! And not just any even-toed ungulates, but very friendly alpacas and their slightly less friendly llama cousins! (Seriously, we don't recommend getting bitten by a llama!) You have your own pasture, and you need to place your herds on it to score as many points as possible. Animals are happiest with similar animals, so pay attention to common traits in your herds that will help you overtake the other players in a fun gallop to victory. —description from the publisher (translated) Witajcie w świecie hodowców ssaków parzystokopytnych! I to nie byle jakich, bo bardzo przyjacielskich alpak i ich nieco mniej przyjacielskich kuzynów lam! (Serio, ugryzła kogoś kiedyś lama? Nie polecamy!) Macie do dyspozycji skrawek łąki i musicie rozmieścić na niej swoje stada w taki sposób, by zdobyć za to jak najwięcej punktów. Swój ciągnie do swego, zwróćcie więc uwagę, czy w obrębie Waszych stad występuje jakaś wspólna cecha, która pozwoli Wam wyprzedzić pozostałych graczy w tym beztroskim galopie po zwycięstwo. —description from the publisher
