Wait, this sucks :-) Hold your horses, let's not seal the
destiny, we've got other resources and life isn't always an
oasis. (No, I can't cruft ``gems'' into the sentence.)

Now seriously. If we do this we'd have to use ``horse animals''
which would sound lame. I never liked ``Game'' anyway because
non-english-speakers never associate it with the animal, I had
my brother ask me something like ``what's this, a casino?''.
Now with ``game animal'' people would think even crazier things.

What about using some other animal related to the game, so that
we don't have to change the tile? Deer? (I can't find my
english dictionary to make a list)
