## Description
In Happy Pigs, you step into the role of a successful pig farmer, competing to raise the healthiest and most profitable pigs around! Each round, you'll strategically choose between Feeding, Mating, Purchasing, or Selling your swine. But beware: the frequency with which you can perform each action, and how many tools (like vaccines, supplements, and birth amulets) you can acquire, depends on how many other players chose the same action. It's a game of anticipating the crowd's moves!

To spice things up, unexpected events like Pig Shows and Sausage Festivals pop up, offering an extra edge to those who can seize the opportunity. The game is divided into four seasons, each with four rounds. An important detail: at the end of each season, all unvaccinated pigs meet their demise! The game concludes after four seasons, when all pigs are sold at varying prices according to their size. Whoever amasses the most cash with their swine wins! It's a light and fun game with a strategic touch and a bit of luck, ideal for those who enjoy farming and economic themes.
