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 year 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.

    You learn about your people while having fun!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually really like this game, we played it as a family and I have brought it to work. It’s interesting to learn about how others think and brings up interesting conversations and gets pretty funny! You all write your answers to the question on your card and then flip it, whoever has a different answer gets the pink cow and can’t win until someone else answers differently. If 2/4 answered different, we just shared the cow lol. Just need 8 chips to win!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Herd Mentality is a fun and easy game to play with family and friends. The questions are simple, but the answers can be surprisingly funny. It is exciting to see how everyone thinks and tries to match the majority. The game is easy to learn, keeps everyone involved, and is perfect for parties, family gatherings, and game nights. I really enjoyed playing it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun group game.

    Definitely a game l'd recommend if you're looking for something fun that gets everyone involved.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game was such a fun surprise! It’s super easy to learn, and you don’t have to be an experienced board game player to enjoy it. The concept is simple: you have to think like the majority of the group and try to match their answers. But if you’re the odd one out… you get the pink cow! 🐄 We loved how it gets everyone laughing, talking and interacting. It’s perfect for family game nights, parties or hanging out with friends. ⭐️easy to learn 😂lots of laughs 👥 great for groups

    Good for large groups

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We took this game away on vacation, there were only 4 players so it was hard for anyone to score. I would recommend playing this in a larger group setting. It was fun but took awhile

    Herd up for a fun, family mentality game !

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Round up your herd for a fun game that challenges you to think with a tram type mentality but play with individualism. The game is durable and of good quality materials, Think like the herd or be frustrated when you become the solo one with the lone pink cow. But don’t worry, you have many opportunities to get back with the herd if you can think and challenge yourself to have that herd mentality.

    So much fun for the whole family!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I played this game with my kids, ages 11 and 9, and we had an absolute blast! It was so much fun seeing everyone's answers and finding out who was thinking like the rest of the group. There were lots of laughs and giggles between all of us, and it was a great way to spend time together as a family. It's a very cute, fun, and easy-to-enjoy game that I can definitely see us playing again!

    Fun interactive game

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun family game. The instructions are easy to follow. It's fast paced and you can play multiple rounds. The only downfall is running out of questions. But I heard there are expansion packs which sound great!

    So fun and super cute!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Big Potato Games Herd Mentality free for my honest review. It’s a really cute game. The packaging is really fun and appealing. My daughter and her friends played it for a birthday party and it was a big hit. The set up is really fun, we love the colors and how everything looks. It’s a great game for parties or a family game night.
