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.

    Great party game for friends and family!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging of the game was very simple and easy access. Also the game was suited for our family of 5. The game was very fun and the hiding answers helps increase the mystery of the game. The game is fun enough to the point in which you can play multiple rounds of the game and when it reaches the end game the whole thing changes and becomes more intense and interesting! There was plenty of mooing as we waited for the last person to finish writing their answer. Overall this game is very fun to play with family and friends!

    A Fun Family Game That Sparked Great Conversations!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We played Herd Mentality as a family with our two kids, ages 8 and 11, and everyone absolutely loved it! The concept is simple, but it leads to lots of laughs, surprises, and friendly competition. A few of the questions were a bit challenging for the kids, so we occasionally skipped those and moved on. That didn't take away from the fun at all. In fact, some of the best moments came from hearing everyone's different answers and trying to think like the rest of the group. What we enjoyed most was how the game got us talking and helped us learn new things about each other. It turned into a wonderful family activity that kept both kids and adults engaged throughout the evening. If you're looking for a game that's easy to learn, fun for mixed ages, and great for family bonding, this is definitely one to add to your collection!

    Fun for all!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. This game was Soooo much fun! It was very easy to set up and understand how to play. We played as a family(mom, dad, 8, 11, 12, and 13 year old). We were laughing a lot and had a great time adjusting how we would answer. We played 5 rounds and the kids wanted to keep playing. We used the regular paper instead of the “cute” slips of paper to record our answers because we did not want them to run out-only thing I would wish is that they included more of the recording papers. This would also be a ton of fun to have adult version cards for it.

    Game for the whole family!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this game and so does the family. The rules are very simple, and the rule book actually tells you where you can watch a video that explains the rules even better. I enjoyed watching everyone laugh and learn more about each others. Some of the questions are quite silly, which all players, especially the younger ones, loved.

    Great for bonding

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the idea of this game. Being that cows are my favorite animal. But other than that. It was a little confusing at first but after playing for awhile it was a fun activity for me and my daughter to do together. She really enjoyed it!

    Fun family game time

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first the gsm was very confusing but eventually adapted. My older daughters had a great time! Rules are fairly simple too. Something I’d recommend to families who have preteens

    So much fun!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Herd Mentality game is super fun. My kids and I played it for over 2 hours and we had so much fun. Time went by so fast and we laughed so hard! We learned a lot about each other answering the questions. Some questions were a little bit too hard for the kids so we just skipped those. There are so many question cards that you can play for hours. You can also add your own questions. Game components are cute and look well made. I really like the box with those fuzzy cow spots - super cute. My kids liked the pink cow 😉. We will definitely play it more often.

    Fun family time

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a cute family game ! I love that you have to think and be creative while also trying to have similar answers. The answers can be so random at times making it fun for all! It also keeps everyone participating engaged and learning. With the variety of answers you can play the game over and over without getting the same ending. We love cows so we absolutely had to try this out.
