“There’s a Board Game for That!” Edition
Do you ever try to guess what someone’s favorite color is on a whim? Well, my well-intentioned and curious friend, have we got the game for you.Hues and Cues (3+ players)
That’s right, Hues and Cues is a silly little guessing adventure all about finding the exact shade of a color in the player’s hand. Referencing the board with over 480 squares, players will draw from the deck and select a single color from the four options on each card. They will then try to describe that color in one-or-two word phrases. The closer you are to the exact shade, the more points you earn. The game concludes when one player has accumulated 50 points.Hues and Cues is particularly fun because everyone associates and imagines colors differently. Personally, I found out a close friend of mine was color-blind halfway through—who knew? (Not them, evidently.) If you think you’ve mastered the art of guessing, give Hues and Cues and try and test your skills!The average price for this game at local bookstores is $15-$20.
