Our take on the Hues and Cues Color Guessing Board Game
Hues and Cues is a party board game where one player gives a one- or two-word clue and everyone else guesses which of 480 color squares on the board it points to. Closer guesses score more, so it rewards creative word choice more than color knowledge. It plays 3 to 10 people in about 30 minutes and is recommended for ages 8 and up. The game has no batteries or assembly and comes in English and Spanish rules.

- Simple rules explained in a couple of minutes
- 480 color squares keep clues varied across plays
