Why this gift works
Hues and Cues Game from The Op is a party game about describing colors. Each round, the cue giver picks a hidden shade and gives a one-word clue, then a two-word clue, and everyone else places pieces on the color they think it is on a board of 480 shades; guesses closest to the target score. It is for 3 to 10 players, ages 8 and up, and a game takes about 30 minutes, per The Op.
It is the rare game where an 8-year-old and a grown-up start on equal footing - nobody knows what 'swimming pool' means to someone else until the pieces go down. It suits the aunt or uncle who gets the whole family around the table.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- Family get-togethers
- Game night with nieces and nephews
- Mixed-age groups
Think twice if
- You usually play with two
- Someone is color-blind
The catch
It needs at least 3 players, it is all about telling close shades apart so color-blind players are at a disadvantage, and Target reviewers say the folding board can tear.
Skip if the family usually plays in twos, or someone in the group is color-blind.
