Herd Mentality Party Game by Big Potato
✓ Product data checked October 30, 2026
Herd Mentality flips the usual quiz: a question is read (what is the best pizza topping?), everyone writes an answer, and those who match the majority win a cow, while the lone odd answer gets stuck with the pink cow. Big Potato made it for 4 to 20 or more players aged 10 and up, and this version adds 20 extra questions. It plays in about 20 minutes and teaches in one sentence, so it suits mixed ages around a holiday table. Rated 4.7 across 5,600+ reviews on Amazon US, at about $25.
