A competitive poker game without money

You have two animals hiding in the bush. You can see everyone else’s animals but not your own! By fighting or cooperating with other animals you can win food and clues as to which animals you have.

The winner is the first player to successfully guess both their animals or to accumulate three more food than every other player.

WHY IS THIS DIFFERENT AND FUN ?

You have to consider how much your opponents know.  Every time you gain clues you also give clues - so choose the best action to maximize your information and minimize what you give away.
