How it plays
Hues and Cues is a party game about colors. A big board shows 480 color squares. The cue giver picks a color card and gives a one-word clue to describe it.
Everyone else places a cone on the color they think it is. Then the cue giver gives a second clue, and players place a second cone. Players closest to the target score points, and the cue giver scores for players who got close.

- Your group is tiny
- Anyone at the table is colour-blind
