Rather than dealing 4 animal cards to each player, give each player a chicken, a goose, a cat and a dog. This eliminates the luck in the official short version rules.
I've often played with this variant (in 3 player games), and it works very well. Shaves off 10-15 minutes of game time without losing anything crucial. Thanks for the variant!
