<p>In <em><a href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/908/tally-ho" rel="nofollow">Tally Ho!</a></em> one player plays the humans (hunters, lumberjacks) while the other plays the animals (foxes, bears). The Dutch rulebook states that since the game is imbalanced, a game is comprised of two hunts, with the players switching sides.</p>

<p>I have played it several times now, but while it's clear that the game is asymmetrical, it isn't clear to me which way the imbalance lies.</p>

<p>Can anyone enlighten me?</p>

Since it's asymmetrical, it's *very* hard to prove that it's balanced. Perhaps they were too lazy to prove it?
