About this item

Highlights

  • THINK LIKE THE HERD: How well do you think you know your family and friends?
  • WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE ROBOT ARMS OR ROBOT LEGS? Don't know the answer? Try to figure out what everyone else would write! If your answer is in the majority, you win cows.
  • WHAT’S THE BEST PIZZA TOPPING? Read out a random question card. The aim is to try and guess the same answer as everybody else.
  • WATCH OUT FOR THE PINK COW! If your answer is the odd one out, you’ll be landed with the Pink Cow — your herd of cows is worthless until you can offload it to someone else.
  • EASY TO LEARN, QUICK TO PLAY: It takes no time to learn, and rounds are short enough for a quick game.

Description

Think like a cow. Herd Mentality is a social deduction family party board game with a simple black and white mission: write down the same answer as everyone else. It starts with a random question: for example “What's the largest fruit you could get in your mouth without chopping it up?” Everyone secretly writes down an answer. If your answer is in the majority, you win cows. But if your answer is the odd one out, you'll land the Pink Cow and your herd will be worthless — unless you can pass it on! The Question Wrangler reads out a card. Each player (including the Question Wrangler) writes down an answer in secret. When everyone's ready, it's time to reveal the answers one by one, starting with the Question Wrangler. When all the answers have been revealed, count them up to find out which was the most common answer. If you were one of the players who wrote it, collect one cow as a reward. Your herd just got a tiny bit bigger. """" If you were the only player who wrote an answer that didn’t match with anyone else’s, then you’re the odd one out. For your punishment, you must add the Pink Cow to your herd. The only way to get rid of the Pink Cow is for another player to be the odd one out in a later round. While you're holding the Pink Cow, you can't win the game — no matter how big your herd becomes. If you’ve got the Pink Cow, you can still collect more cows, but they aren't worth anything unless you can pass it on."" Comes with a cow pen where you can round up the Cow Tokens and the Pink Cow. One of the best new 2020 family strategy board games. If you like The Chameleon, Spyfall or Big Potato Games you'll love this. For Ages 10+ for between 4 and 20 players.

Q: Can you get away with only 3 players?

submitted by Rix28 - 1 month ago
  • A: Herd Mentality is designed for 4 or more players to keep the group-think dynamic strong. However, it can still be enjoyed with 3 players with a few simple adjustments.

    Fun Game

    Really fun for game night. Easy to learn. You'd be surprised with some really hilarious and sometimes not so smart answers. I was still laughing the next day wondering what were they thinking when they came up with the answer.

    Wonderful!

    Extremely fun! A small group of six of us played, and tons of laughs were had. We ranged in age from 30 to 90, and we all had fun. I believe my 12 year old would have also enjoyed if he had played.

    Fun with little explanation needed

    I bought this for a friend's 24th birthday. We played it at her party with about 10 people. Everyone picked up the rules quickly and had fun. I was worried the game would be too easy, but it turns out that answers that seem clear cut often are not lol. I would recommend!

    Fast Delivery

    Ok, so to start, the website said the store had 4 of them. Nope! So, I ordered online and had to pay for shipping, which was a little annoying. But it came very fast in fantastic condition. I'd rather save the shipping cost by popping to the store, but this is the next best thing.

    Fun group game

    We have played the game with extended family and with just immediate family of 4. Fun both times. It can be hard to decide if you choose an answer that is what you actually would do or what you think the group would do. Fast paced game that sometimes made us laugh.
