Games like Herd Mentality to play online for free
Great Minds is the closest Letternerd game to Herd Mentality: everyone answers the same question at the same time and you score only if you side with the crowd. Two of a Kind is a smaller version for two to eight, with four answers and one pick each, and you score when you read each other’s mind. Both are free in the browser.
What is Herd Mentality?
Herd Mentality is a party game from Big Potato Games. A question is read out, everyone writes an answer in secret, and you score only if your answer matches the majority. Standing alone with the odd answer out can land you with a penalty piece that stops you from winning until you pass it on. It is built for families and large groups.
