Product Overview
Hues and Cues turns color into a party game for 3 to 10 players ages 8 and up. Players take turns giving one- and two-word cues to get everyone else guessing a specific hue on a board of 480 colors, then score points based on how close the guesses land to the target. Since everybody pictures color a little differently, the same clue can send guesses in wildly different directions, which is where the fun kicks in for family and party game nights alike.
- Fits 3 to 10 players, making it easy to pull into a family game night or a bigger party crowd.
- Core mechanic is simple to grasp: give one or two words, connect them to a color, and see how close the group gets.
- 480 colors on the game board mean cues rarely repeat and every round plays out differently.
- Scoring rewards both close guessing and clever clue-giving, so everyone at the table stays in it.
- Recommended for ages 8 and up, with straightforward rules that don't take long to explain before playing.
