INTRO: The Mootastic Showdown
Herd Mentality is a š® party game for 4-20 players. The objective is to be the first player to collect 8 š®. To win, answer questions in line with the majority of the group. If you stray, you'll receive the pink š®cow, which slows your progress. Keeping the pink š® doesn't prevent you from earning cow points, but it prevents you from winning. This game blends strategy, psychology, and humor. It's all about navigating the crowd's choices and avoiding standing out š
COMPONENTS: Udderly fascinating
Letās start with the box! The uniquely designed box catches your eye because it looks like a cow š, and it adds an extra layer of charm because if you touch it, it almost feels like you are petting a cow š¾. The points are quirky cows š®. They are all unique. The deck of cards has different colors and the range of questions is fairly unique. Big Potato Games does a great job at being environmentally friendly šæ. The box does not come with any plastic ā»ļø. The game does not come with pens or pencils, and each answering sheet has five lines. We are using erasable pens āļø, and once we deplete the answer sheets, weāll laminate them for reuse š.
Game Play: Gotta go with the cow-munity!
To set up the game, place the cow paddock š, which includes the pink cow š® and points š°, in the middle of the table. Grab a few sheets from the answer pad š and a pen āļø for each player. The gameplay occurs in rounds.
On each turn, one player will flip a "Herd Mentality" card š and read it aloud. Everyone writes an answer. If people are taking too long, the person who flipped the card can moo at them š®. This is a gentle yet hilarious reminder that you are dragging on.
Once everyone has finished writing, everyone takes turns answering aloud. If there is a š³ļø majority answer, everyone who answered that answer gets a š® point. If there is a majority tie, no one is awarded cow points. If all players but one have the same answer, the odd cow out gets the pink cow. The person holding the pink cow cannot win the game.
The game continues until one player has collected 8 š®. That player is the winner as long as they donāt have the pink cow in their possession! š
What I Like: Herdās the Deal
I like Herd Mentality because it is a š„³ fun and easy game to learn. The rules are š simple and the game is quick to ā±ļø set up and play. It is also a great game for š„ large groups, as it can accommodate up to 20 players.
I also like that Herd Mentality is a game that encourages š£ļø discussion and š¤ teamwork. Players need to work together to figure out what the š³ļø majority answer is. This can lead to some š interesting and š¤£ funny conversations.
I feel that the game plays well at any player count which is rare. Even at larger groups, the game scales.
What You May Not Like
The only thing I don't like about Herd Mentality is that thereās a finite number of question cards, so they can be a bit repetitive after youāve played the game a few times. Iād suggest mixing in some of your own questions and submitting them to Big Potato Games.
Conclusion - Wrapping it Up in a Cow-tastic Bow
Herd Mentality is a fun and easy-to-learn š„³ party game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The game is perfect for groups of four players or larger š„. It encourages š£ļø discussion and š¤ teamwork. The game does not drag on and is enjoyed by both board gamers and non-gamers alike. It's a great ice-breaker and starting game that helps bond long-term friends and new acquaintances.
Gather your herd and enjoy the game. May your answers be spot-onšš
