The Concept
The concept of Herd Mentality is wonderfully simple. One person asks a question or a topic for discussion. This is all about opinions rather than factual answers, so no one needs to be left out. Each question is printed on a small card and they cover a wide range of topics.
For example:
- What is the best pizza topping?
- Is full-fat, semi-skimmed, or skimmed milk best?
- Where is the best place for a first date – a restaurant, a pub, or a disco?
Gameplay Mechanics
Players are given a few seconds to consider their responses. Then they write their answers on a piece of paper. In turn, each answer is read aloud and often there will be one response that forms the majority opinion.
For example, if the question is "What is one part of your body that you can live without?" and most players choose "appendix," they become part of the herd. The sole renegade (who has lost their little toe) is given the pink cow token and is temporarily ostracized from scoring.
Winning the Game
The game continues with questions being asked and everyone trying to choose answers that would fit with the majority. When one person has eight points (or whatever target is selected) the game is over.
About Herd Mentality
Herd Mentality is not just a game; it's an experience designed to bring people together. From the moment you lay eyes on the unique, cow-themed box with its soft fur texture, you know you're in for something special. The attention to detail extends to the thick card components and double-sided tokens, each with its own expressive cow face.
But it's not just about the aesthetics. Herd Mentality thrives on the diversity of opinions it elicits. With stacks of question cards covering a wide range of topics, every game is a new adventure. Whether you're debating the best pizza topping or pondering life's deeper questions, Herd Mentality sparks laughter, discussion, and connection.

But winning isn't everything in Herd Mentality. While scoring points is a thrill, the real victory lies in the shared experience of laughter, camaraderie, and understanding. Whether you're part of the herd or proudly sporting the pink cow token, every player plays a vital role in shaping the game's dynamic.
