Herd Mentality - Think Like the Group

Welcome to Herd Mentality on Cardyard.ai! The hilarious party game where thinking like everyone else is the goal. Answer questions with what you think the majority will say, not what you actually think. Our AI generates endless thought-provoking and funny questions that reveal how well you know your friends and how predictable (or unique) you really are.

How to Play Herd Mentality

1. Each round, all players see the same question
2. Write down the answer you think MOST other players will write
3. Everyone reveals their answers simultaneously
4. Players who wrote the most common answer score a point
5. If you're the only one with a unique answer, you get the Pink Cow (and can't win while holding it)
6. First player to 8 points wins - unless they have the Pink Cow!
7. To lose the Pink Cow, someone else must be the sole odd one out

The Psychology of Herd Mentality

This game taps into social psychology and conformity bias. It's fascinating to see how groups develop shared assumptions and how individuals balance between expressing themselves and fitting in. The Pink Cow mechanic brilliantly adds tension - being unique is punished, but sometimes necessary to win!
