However when it comes to scoring I prefer the slightly more complex (yet easy to explain the penalty) version that came with the game as (for me) it adds a slight tension when I count up my animals 1 step at a time :p
It definitely impacts one's perception of the scoring and creates tension. One could also argue the thematic value of it. That is my wife's thinking on the matter. She likes the threat of lost points. To me it feels like an illusion that can obscure the VP value of any given game choice. Regardless, I appreciate your thoughts on it see where you are coming from. IMHO your in good company since You agree with my wife. :)
Happy gaming,
