HOW TO PLAY HERD MENTALITY
Herd Mentality is a board game all about blending in. It’s quick to learn and easy to play – even for groups of up to 20 people.
-
“Would you rather have robot arms or robot legs?”
THINK LIKE THE HERD
Read a question card to start the game. Your mission is to blend in with the herd, so each player must think of an answer that the majority of people will say.
-
Be one with the herd
LET CATTLE COMMENCE
Write down secretly your answer. After, everyone must reveal their answers one by one. If your answer is in the majority, you win cows (and who doesn’t love cows?!)
-
Whatever you do, don’t stand out
PINK COW OF DOOM
Beware the pink cow. If your answer is the odd one you’ll get stuck with the pink cow of doom. You can’t win until you get rid of it by giving an answer that blends in!

I bought this on recommendation looking at reviews. The family and friends love it – I can tell as they keep borrowing it. It is easy to play and covers all abilities and ages. Plus it doesn’t take forever to finish.
I purchased the reduced packaging version (smaller box) so the normal version may not have the same issue. The front cover of the box has black cow patches made with felt material, which is a cute idea but terribly messy in reality. They shed endlessly so it cannot be cleaned off. We ended up just throwing away the lid of the box!
Moo!
Love this game! Used it in a work team meeting today with some amazing answers. Tears of laughter. Enjoyed by all.
Our kids absolutely love this. Fun game to play perfect for parties or family gatherings. Works best with a minimum of 4 but better with 6 or 8 or more players. A good game of great minds think alike or how well do you know the others.
Have played about 5 times so far and will definitely have it out some more.
Simple game but really good fun. We played this with 4-8 family members and friends of all ages and everyone loved it!! Was really easy to understand the rules, and it lasted a very long time before we got bored. Love its value for money and the way it’s presented. Recommend!!
Fantadtic game to play with all age kids.
We had great fun playing this.
Bought to play at Christmas when the family came . Game was easy to understand and play and was great fun.
All ages enjoyed it.
Bought this for the whole family to play at christmas. The young and old played and it was great fun.
Thankfully I got this for roughly 12 and it was a good purchase.
Inside the box you get a small foam cow (The herd), you also get a small makeshift box to put the cow and 2 sets of cards which provide questions.
Although one is less leading, they both seem suitable for adults and children a like and despite the odd card, it can be enjoyed by all.
You get a little booklet which allows you to write your “herd mentality” answer and then you compare the answer to see who stands out. The one who stands out doesn’t get any coins and then the one who achieves a set amount of coins first, wins.
If you obtain the cow, you can not win until you remove the cow.
I would recommend this game, you could even feasibly create your own cards or add some trivial pursuit style cards to give the game a different twist.
My friend had recommended this game as her family had played it over Easter. We had a family gathering and it provided great entertainment, we had a wonderful fun evening with plenty of laughs. It didn’t require too much concentration and kept the conversation flowing.
Got this a while ago and have used it a few times now, not as good wth different generation I’ve found but can be a lot of fun with friends and if you get the smaller version as a small game you can take round someones house to play
We love this game , kids and adults absolutely love playing and we get a fair few laughs with some of the random answers. Great for all ages and we always get this out for games night. Even bought it for a friends 40th birthday present. Would definitely recommend !
This game honestly had us in stiches and was possibly one of the highlights of the Christmas Entertainment. Whilst possibly slightly pricey for what you get, it’s a really easy game to learn, and be played by anyone able to write.
It has the bonus that you score points based on how many people write down the same answer as you. Whilst some questions give you choices to opt for, others are much more freeform, leading to lots of hilarity and grandma receiving the dreaded Pink Cow , more times than you would think statistically possible, for thinking completely differently to everyone else.
Would recommend
Great game. Easy concept. Some of the easy cards are a bit too easy (according to my children age 10 and 12, one of which is highly critical of most things). Played with the family. Lovely and relaxing as you can sit apart and not huddled round a board. Prompted lots of discussion. Would recommend.
Works better with more players- we had 8, which was a good number and as the title suggests, you have to choose an answer to a question that you think most people would have. Example, name a famous wizard, Harry Potter or the wizard of oz. Could be the answer. Whoever the majority selects would be the winners of the round.
Good fun, easy to learn and quick games that don’t drag!
Quick and easy to learn! Spent boxing day with the family playing this game. Becomes very interesting after a couple of drinks
other than that, good game and very fun!
Wouldn’t say this is good for traveling as there are loads of little parts. A fun game with a group of friends/family but can’t be played over and over again with the same group of people.
Played at recent get-together with friends and family who all enjoyed. The game revealed some differences of opinion and opened up con-confrontational conversations about different subjects. Instructions very easy to understand so quick start to game. Good fun and didn’t result in any arguments or shame. Can easily be played when partaking of a liquid refreshment.
Easy game for all the family, only gripe I had was the seals were cut through on the box, suggesting it was a return, as far as i know all essential items were present.
Fantastic game, lots of fun for a big group and appropriate for all ages
My family love this ! Pls hurry with the expansion packs
Love this game, such a laugh at any occasion. Well worth the money.
Brilliant and easy enough for older members of the family to join i
We have 8 and 11 year old girls and we all had a brilliant time with this game. Highly recommended.
Bought as a Xmas gift. Chose it because the rules could be tweaked to include all ages from very young. It worked well and was enjoyed by everyone.
Easy to understand, no complicated instructions
A really simple but funny game. Can play with younger ones, or adults. Excellent.
Easy to learn and lots of fun. Great for Christmas Day giggles.
Fun game played at Chriatmas. 3 generations..4 players and all enjoyed i
This is a great game when getting together with friends! Even our kids join in and love playing! Makes a great drinking game too!
Bought to play with the family for Christmas. What a great game. Each round lasts a few minutes depending on how many players. Lots of different cards to choose from. Easy to pick up for both young & old. Played with a 12 & 15 year old and grandparents in their late 70s. Lots of laughs.
It’s a simple to learn fun game that we all enjoyed playing at Christmas. Suitable for all the family from age 8 to 88
