Hues and Cues (USA-PA135-725)
Hues and Cues is a party guessing game from The Op for 3–10 players, ages 8+, that plays in about 30 minutes.
How it plays
The board shows 480 shades. The cue giver secretly picks a color from a card and gives a one-word cue, and everyone places a marker on the shade they think matches.
Then a two-word cue lets everyone add a second marker. The closer your guesses (and the better your cues when it's your turn to give them), the more points you earn.
