* CasanovaWannabe: Bachelor Stallion cards represent NPC stallions who want to start their own herds. Players use these cards to remove mares from another player's herd - both the bachelor stallion and the stolen mare are returned to the bottom of the draw pile.



* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Any player can land on any other player and steal one of that player's mares. And the player ''characters'' are rival stallions...
* ImminentDangerClue: Only a mule can smell the wolves in one chance card. If you don't have a mule in your herd, you lose a horse.
* JumpScare: In-universe example, a chance card reads, "Laundry hanging on a clothesline spooks a Ranch horse. She [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere escapes the ranch and heads for the hills]]. You find her and lead her to your herd."

->Join the herd for 3 wild adventures

Herd Your Horses is a board game built around life in horse herds, either wild mustangs or tamed rancher horses. Three different multiplayer adventure modes can utilize the same board, and there are also solitaire minigames.

!!Multiplayer Game 1: Mustang Escape

Players start as captured mustang stallions who escape on the first round of play. From there, players compete to gather NPC horses into herds and [[RunForTheBorder get to Green River Valley]].

!!Multiplayer Game 2: Rancher's Round-Up

The player characters are ranchers who chase horses that have already escaped. The goal of this game is to make it to the end with at least one representative of each breed of horse in the game.

!!Multiplayer Game 3: Rancher's Revenge

The player characters are ranchers who chase horses that have already escaped. This time, the horses you catch must be paired up based on matching coat colors or marks.
