Game Rules & Mechanics
Answering Questions
Each round, all players receive the same question. Your goal is to answer in a way that matches the majority of other players.
- Questions can be about anything: favorites, opinions, associations, or creative responses
- Type your answer before the timer runs out
- Think strategically - what will most people say? What's the most obvious answer?
- Spelling doesn't have to be perfect, but clarity helps match answers
Pro Tip:
The best answers aren't always the "correct" ones - they're the ones everyone else will think of! Sometimes the most obvious answer wins.
Scoring System
Points are awarded based on how many other players gave the same answer as you:
- Majority Answer: If your answer matches the most common response, you earn points equal to the number of players who gave that answer
- Pink Sheep: If you're the only one with a unique answer, you get 0 points that round (don't be the odd one out!)
- Multiple Majorities: If there's a tie for most common answer, all tied answers earn points
Winning the Game
The player with the most points after all rounds wins! The best sheep thinker takes the crown. Games typically last 8-10 rounds, but the host can customize this.
