I'm usually relatively pedantic about playing games the way they're written or not at all. Don't know why.

But, yeah, I generally agree that you've highlighted the problems with the game, mainly the large hand sizes and the out-of-turn plays.

I'm a bit less convinced about scoring all the teeny pens, because it might turn the winner into a random person, depending on who keeps penning 4 sheep. Not sure. Maybe if those minimum sized pens were halved for scoring, like the original Carcassonne rules, though that just adds new complexity ...
