Description
If you're looking to spice up your game night, then look no further than this board game! We've got just the right party game in mind. What color comes to your mind when we say “apple”? Hues and Cues is a vibrant game of colorful communication with colored squares all over, where players must make connections to a specific color with word clues. With only one and two-word cues, everyone must try and get others to guess one specific hue from the 480 colored squares on the board using markers. In this party game, the closer the guesses are to the target, the more points you earn. The one with the most points after several rounds wins. And since everyone understands and imagines colors differently, this party game tends to get super interesting as the players are challenged at every move. So don't miss out on all the fun during game night with this family board game.

Q: Can a color blind person play this game? Just wondering.
submitted by Kelly - 2 years ago
A: Yes they can. It’s about matching color perception and not the actual colors. I know many color deficient people who play and excel at the game!
submitted byNicole - 2 years ago
A: I am colorblind. I will let you know after I find a group to play with with. But, I feel like this is a definite yes. I am really excited about this game and arguing with my friends about colors.

Q: Is this a good game for 7 year olds
submitted by ABMB - 7 months ago
A: Thank you for your inquiry!
While Hues and Cues is recommended for ages 8 and up, we are confident that 7-year-olds could still enjoy it with a little assistance. The game focuses on colors and creativity, so younger players can have fun participating, especially with help reading clues or discussing choices. It can be a great family game to grow into!
Thanks for playing!

Q: It says 3 to 10 layers. Can only 2 play?
submitted by Maia - 8 months ago
A: You’re welcome to use house rules if you’d like, but for the best experience, and to enjoy the game as it was intended, we recommend playing with 3 or more players. Thanks for Playing!
This game is a delightful choice for family game nights or gatherings with friends, offering a unique blend of creativity and fun. Guests appreciate its easy-to-learn rules and the engaging challenge of describing colors without using their names. The game fosters laughter and interaction among players of all ages, making it a versatile option for various group sizes. However, some guests noted inconsistencies in color matching between cards and the board, which can affect gameplay.

Fun game night
I played this game for the first time with my girls, age range from 5-13. It was a hit! Easy enough for a 5 yo to understand but entertaining for all. You really need to use your imagination to describe shades of color. I highly recommend for family night

Difficult but Fun!
Very difficult! But fun to play. The colors on the cards are slightly duller than the board so give clues after looking at the board. Helped a little. The game pieces and the game board are nice and durable.

Looks nice, but one card was damaged when opened
The game seems simple enough after reading the instructions, but after opening the card packs, the first card was rough on the surface and had dots on it for some reason

SAVE YOUR MONEY-- DO NOT PURCHASE
The hues are visibly off. My 12 year old bought this with her own money. We played and discovered the hues on the cards are totally different than the board!!!

Great new game for us
Colorfuly and so much fun! I picked this up after seeing it on tiktok, and so glad I did. My family does not play games often, and were a little reluctant to play it however they loved this one. Easy directions, and everyone dove right in.

It's like matching up paint chips
PROS: The board is pretty. CONS: Poor concept; poor execution. OVERALL: It’s the type of game that will end up at your next yard sale.

Family Fun!
Fun game for the whole family. Playing with my 5 year old and 8 year old, we're pretty loose on the rules, pretty much anything goes for cues. Still have a blast playing and it's fun to see how everyone interprets colors (sky blue and grinch green were our family's biggest differences).

The box came with a dent, and the game board looks fragile. Just opening it threatened to tear.

Hues and Clues
The game is a little complicated initially but once everyone got the hang of it the had great fun. Our group ranged in age from 7 to 42 and everyone enjoyed it. Great family game. Biggest complaint I have is I ordered this game on December 1 and it sat in the Fed X facility 20 minutes from my house until December 20. I will not do shipping from Target again. It seems that any time a company uses FedX and it gets turned over to USPS it takes weeks. Next time I will pick up in store or purchase elsewhere

Great large group game, easy to learn
Great game for a large group, variety of ages and good for people that don’t know each other well. Easy to score, fast paced and can be funny. Fast set up. Easy to learn the rules.
