Translation, German to English

Another cosy title, this one aimed at younger kids. Animals compete in a race to become the next royal messenger. The twist is that at game start none of the players know which of the animals the other players are controlling. Players play cards matching terrain tiles to move the animals of their choice, but you’re trying to keep your identity secret and guess who the other animals are for bonus points at the end. The publisher only supplied the rules text at first, which wasn’t exactly superbly written. It was all a bit confusing until we finally got some pictures of the components. One of the reasons why I prefer working directly in the layout files, where possible.
