A tiny, brilliant game about how badly your eyes deceive you. Cards show shapes filled with different amounts of one colour, and you must slot new cards into a line ranked by how much of that colour they contain. Doubt a placement and you flip the cards to check who was right.
Who it's for
Anyone wanting a clever, quick perception puzzle that plays with all ages and always sparks disbelief and debate.
Not for you if…
You want depth, theme, or a longer experience. It is a single elegant idea, and players who dislike pure guesswork or want strategic control will find it slight.
Vibe's take
A steady stream of gotcha moments as everyone's confident colour judgement turns out to be wildly wrong.
