Hues and Cues

Hues and Cues

Players try to communicate and guess specific hues from a board of 480 colors using only one- or two-word cues. Each round one player privately selects a target color and gives a short verbal hint, while the others place markers on the board where they think that hue sits. Scoring is based on how close each guess lands to the target, and play passes so everyone cycles through giving cues and guessing. Clues can reference everyday objects, moods, nature or culture, and players use others’ choices to refine their own guesses.

    It’s a very different game, but it’s not too replayable. After a few rounds you start going “okay tf is the point i get it-“ Maybe I’ll try it again one day, but it’s all that imo.

    I will try this one out soon, but I have a feeling it won't have the longevity. It's a bit samey, but it's so unique and accessible that I want to keep it.
