Description

How well can you describe a colour hue without using a primary colour's name?

3-10 Players | 30 Mins | Ages 8+

Features: Communication Limits, Deduction, Score-and-Reset Game, Targeted Clues, Turn Order: Progressive

Theme: Deduction, Party Game

What hue do you think of when we say "apple"? Hues and Cues is a vibrant game of colourful communication where players are challenged to make connections to colours with words. Using only one and two-word cues, players try to get others to guess a specific hue from the 480 colours on the game board. The closer the guesses are to the target, the more points you earn. Since everyone imagines colours differently, connecting colours and clues has never been this much fun!

Gather around with three to ten people to play a quick and simple game with a prism of possibilities! First, a “cue giver” hides a specific colour they’ve chosen out of a deck of cards. There are 480 shades on the board in front of you! After getting one- and two-word cues, everyone places their marker on which colour they think is being described. "Coffee." Is it dark brown, as in freshly brewed? "Au lait." With milk. That means I should pick a lighter shade!

Use examples from everyday life, from nature to pop culture, or materials and moods. Everyone around the table gets a turn to give cues and guess. The better your hints or guesses, the more points you earn. Play off others' experiences to narrow down what they have in mind!
