"I suggested this game for a friend's party and it was an instant hit! Everyone was hooked from the start. It’s fast, funny, and surprisingly challenging - you really see how differently people think about color. It’s the kind of game you want to play again and again because every group brings out something new."
"This game is so much fun and for all ages! Although, I recommend partnering with an adult for the real young kids, as my adorable 6 year old nephew just wanted to describe each color as paint. This is a co-op game where you try and direct the other players to the exact box you are describing. Sounds extremely simple but if you had an opinion on the white & gold/ blue & black dress back in 2015 you know how intense this game can get. Perfect for parties and get togethers of all eras."
"This super fun and colorful game is so good! You have to listen closely to the color clues given. The closer you are to guessing the person's color, the more points you get! It would also be helpful to include a small container or pouch to keep all the game pieces together."
"This game is very fun! I love the vibrant board and the variety of colors. Our group did well and really enjoyed it. I'm excited for the next opportunity to play it! One tip is to make sure you look at what the color looks like on the board because it looks a bit different when it's surrounded by all of the colors instead of the black on the card. Once we started doing that, it helped us pick up on each other's clues better. We liked it enough that I bought one to give to my niece for her upcoming birthday as well! I highly recommend checking out this unique game!"
"The game Is simple, a card is read and you have to guess on the board what color you think it is using the cues given for the hue! This one is definitely a game for all ages, and bound to have people expanding their vocabulary as they figure out new ways to describe the same things. It is fun to see how each of us perceives things so very differently."
"It's a simple concept but harder than you think. With one or two word cues, your guests must guess the hue. We laughed really hard when NOONE guessed even close to the correct hue. The game was fun and competitive. It moves quickly but at a pace my y year old coould keep up (with some help. )"
"This is my new favorite board game. For all of us out there that don't do so well with math, lengthy rules, or lots of strategy. . . this is the game. If you have an eye for color and a descriptive tongue, you will excel in this game and actually win something for once!"
"This is a family/friends fun game! You will enjoy playing the game while creating memories full of laughter and togetherness. We really had a fun night. This is easy to play and easy to understand. This would be a great game to add to your Friday family fun game night game boards!"
"Ever wanted to name your favorite crayon color? Using 1 and 2 word clues, your goal is to get the other players to guess what hue you're describing. This game was a good time for all - and quite a departure from most games we own. Hues and Cues doesn't require lengthy rules or a broad trivia knowledge - it can be played by any age and ability - it also doesn't require a high level of competitive spirit to be sucessful. We had so much fun playing this with our group, and because everyone's thought process is different and the sheer number of options, it has a ton of replayability."
"This game was a hit with everyone! It was a super simple concept to pick up on, didn’t take much time to set it up, and doesn’t have a lot of pieces to keep track of. The score board is built into the board which is convenient. The board is fairly large so you’ll need a decent sized area to play. It’s a great game for all ages because of the simplicity. The game moves along fairly quickly so nobody gets bored. We had some good laughs based on one single word! This is definitely a game we’ll play again. I’m not sure that it's one you could play over and over as I think the same descriptive words are likely to be repeated. It’s probably more like a game you could pull out every few months, hence the loss of a star"
