GO mental® is a different type of game. Why? Because ALL of the players are involved ALL of the time. There's no sitting around waiting for your turn.
That's because at the start of each game each player is dealt a bunch of Steal Cards. You use these to steal other player's questions. When it's someone else's turn and they get a question that you know the answer to, you just jump right in, slap down one of your Steal Cards and shout "Steal". You steal the question right away from them, and you get to answer it.
Also, at the start of each game, each player is dealt a bunch of Challenge Cards. You use these if you get a question you don't know the answer to - or, maybe, you DO know the answer but you have a pretty shrewd idea another player DOESN'T. In that case, you slap down one of your Challenge Cards, and you challenge that player to answer the question instead of you. If he/she gets it wrong - they get sent BACKWARDS.
We’ll come back to the Steal and Challenge Cards in a moment - there are a couple of other small twists to be aware of.
The object of the game is to move your brain (playing piece) around the board from GO to MENTAL. You do that by answering GO mental® questions. The questions are very straightforward. Each question contains 4 things. One is the odd one out (doesn't fit). The other three are somehow connected. The connection is always positive. So, when you get a question, first you have to say which of the four is the odd one out. Get that right and you advance one space. Second, and if you got the first bit right, you say why the other three are connected. Get that bit right as well and you advance another three spaces.
So, here's an example:
Botticelli
Raphael
Leonardo
Donatello
Which one doesn't fit?
Right! Botticelli doesn't fit.
And why are the other three connected?
Right! The other 3 are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
