Herd Mentality

Herd Mentality

Mooooooove it and stop chewing the cud! Herd Mentality is not a game about standing out from the crowd but being part of it! In this game being unique is a bad thing.

Coming from party game connoisseurs Big Potato, you know you are getting a well thought out twist on the usual party game faire. The object of Herd Mentality is to be the first player to 8 points, but you must get there alone, if not you keep going until someone breaks ahead!

Each player, or team if you like, takes a note pad and then a card is flipped over. The card will give a category like ‘Best fast food restaurant’ or ‘Biggest animal you could take in a fight’. Everyone jots down an answer and when everyone has you all reveal them. You work out which is the biggest ‘herd’ of the same answers and each of the people in this herd gat a point. Among the remaining answers if there is only one unique one that person gets the included pink cow. If you have the pink cow you cannot win the game! Simples!

The beauty of the game is in trying to game and gauge the other players. I might think I can take a bear in a fight but will granny? Or anyone else? Would it be safer to say a dog?

The variety of cards is really cool as is the unnecessary pink squashy cow that passes among players who got a bit too cocky. A great choice for families and more serious game groups, bring the laughter whatever the occasion.
