About this game

Hues and Cues throws a massive color wheel on the table and puts everyone's sense of color into words. The clue giver secretly picks a shade and offers just one word to describe it, no naming primary colors allowed, so you're stuck reaching for things like 'rust' or 'lagoon'. Everyone else plants a marker where they think that color lives on the board, then the giver can risk a second, more precise word before revealing the answer. Being close scores well, landing exactly on it scores best, and you'll be amazed how differently your friends see the same shade of green.
