I find Guineafowl better. Some people describe it as gamey but maybe it depends where you get it from (wild vs farmed) and which part of the animal you consume (legs and wings are usually gamey-er).
Both times I tried Gineafowl breast (in two different countries), it tasted like chicken but more fine, moist and buttery with a unique flavour. Sometimes chicken breast has a dry, almost grainy consistency; Gineafowl was more oily.
It did have its own slight unique flavor but I wouldn't describe it as 'gamey'; I think that even Duck is more gamey than Gineafowl.
On the gamey-ness scale of all the ornithological specimens I tried I would say:
Chicken < Gineafowl < Turkey < Duck < Quail < Pigeon < Partridge < Pheasant
If you're used to eating turkey a lot, I suspect that you might find Gineafowl to be more gamey than turkey but I think it's close.
