Board Game Advent Calendar - Day 5

Hues and Cues

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

If you have a Gen Z in your life... ask them if they know this game from Tiktok. Its quick to pick up, its easy to play, it leads to wonderful questions and discussion about which exact shade of purple is "bruise" or why "ocean" is maybe not as good a clue as you might think... 

Perfect for: groups of friends (small or large) looking for some entertainment before busting out the barbecue (this is mostly how my copy has been used!)

Complexity: 1.06/5
