RULES:
The object of the game is to score the most points. Lay out the board and give each player 3 pieces of the same color. Players place one of their pieces to the left of the score track. Shuffle the color cards to form a face-down draw pile. Set the scoring frame to the side. The player wearing the most colorful outfit is the cue giver first, then the role rotates clockwise each round.
On your turn as the cue giver, draw 1 card from the top of the deck and secretly look at it. Pick one color on the card then tell all the other players a one-word cue that will help them guess the color you picked. The cue may be any single word except:
• It may not be a color name from this list: purple, blue, green, red, pink, yellow, orange, brown, white, black, gray. Abstract colors like “lavender” or “seafoam” are acceptable.
• You may not refer to the color’s position on the board, or the letters, or numbers.
• You may not refer to any object in the room.
• You may not repeat a clue already used earlier in the game.
Now, starting with the player to your left and proceeding clockwise, all the other players must make a guess to what your color is by placing one of their pieces on any empty color square on the board. Players may not guess a color that already has a piece on it and pieces may not be moved. Once all the other players have placed their first piece, then you may give a two-word cue. The two words must follow the same guidelines as before. This includes not using words like “lighter” or “darker” to suggest a position on the board relative to the first guesses made.
Now, this time, in counterclockwise order from you, every other player makes a second guess with their piece on any unoccupied space on the board. Once all the other players have guessed, you then reveal your color and place the scoring frame centered around that space. Use the letter and number grid to properly align it. You, as the cue giver, receive 1 point for every player piece that is located within the scoring frame. In a 3-player game, receive 2 points per piece instead.
All the other players receive points based on each of their piece’s proximity to the correct color. An exact guess of the correct color is worth 3 points. A guess that is off by one space in any direction is worth 2 points. A guess off by 2 spaces is worth 1 point and all other guesses are worth 0 points. Use the scoring frame to help you calculate points quickly. Players advance their pieces along the scoring track the appropriate number of spaces.
The cue giver is allowed to pass on giving the second two-word cue if they want. If that happens, then all the other players do not place down their 2nd pieces, but instead, scoring happens immediately.
After scoring, all guessing pieces are removed from the board and the role of cue giver rotates clockwise by one and a new round is played. In a 3 to 6 player game, the game continues until each player has been the cue giver twice, or, in a 7 or more player game, each player is the cue giver once. Then the game ends and the player with the most points wins. In the event of a tie, play tie breaker rounds until you get a winner.
It may because I've been watching Taskmaster too much, but the rule "nothing that is in the room" implies a scavenger hunt variant of objects in other rooms being a totally legal way to play
I mean you totally can do that
I was about to disagree with this, but that just means the cluegiver can't see the object before declaring that object as the clue for the given color.
Well, all the information *IS* on the task…!
@@joshuagrahambrown It's criminal that this reply didnt get attention lol
The way I'd do it if I had friends to play it with would be to allow for the cue giver to leave the room and find an item but cannot take the card with them, and has a 3 minute time limit.
Dang I thought the rules were gonna be like normal chess but with these changes
Same
100th Like! But lol 😂

Finally! A game for graphic designers.
Finally! A game that explicitly excludes colorblind people
This is much simpler than what I first guessed, and I haven't even flipped the box :P
Okay but is en passant legal?
No

How to say orange fruit without saying the orange colour
Tangerine
@@pancakeerobotee6685 is also a color
i have understood, it was my mistake.
(if you stumbled upon here for your first time, please refrain from replying to me)
if you speak 2 languages or more you could say it in another language
say: yummy fruit

I think this could work for a colorblind person. Because we are not asking them to find the color "yellow" we're asking people to find the color of a "lemon" they know what a lemon looks like and so matching a general color will be easy, but finding a precise color might be more difficult, so I propose this: either a +1 handicap, with bullseye's scoring +4 points down to +2 points OR a handicap with a wider scoring grid, +3 points if you get a bullseye or 1 away from a bullseye, all the way down to 1 point
What you could do for color impairment is to score them using a bigger scoring grid with a +1
I always thought that colourblindness is a condition of being unable to distinguish between two or more colours. So in this game it's more like the board will have several sections that are indistinguishable to a colourblind person, not just it being difficult for them to find the exact colour.
Colour-blind people are gonna be playing a whole different game compared with people who aren't and it won't be a fun one.
I suppose it would be easier to pick games that aren't deeply based on colour recognition to play with colour-blind friends.
not everyone can do everything- this is a game of guessing colours, of course the colourblind can't guess

aww, so i can't say hydrogen?
(talking about H2)
nerd
you’re saying 2 hydrogen, and thats two words
@@chaosonyoutube3551H2 is molecular hydrogen. H is atomic hydrogen. Both hydrogen.
I don't really see that much of a reason to not give a second clue. It's very unlikely that there are already 4 or more pieces in the 3x3 area after the first clue, even with 8 players.
Totally agree
I was trying to think of why you would pass on giving the 2nd clue. Perhaps to keep people from catching your score towards the end of the game?
rules are same as regular hue except for these changes
but what about if you and a friend knows what color it is in hexadecimal value? isn't that considered cheating?
true, they didn't say any thing about no hex 😁🤣
The one word rule.
@@veggiet2009 actually, i just thought of it.. it can be a harder/advanced version of the game 'Hues and Cues', and its only for players who are used to hex values! it be a fun step-up from the regular 'Hues and Cues'
@@Lemony123 FF0022 has no spaces, and therefore is one word! Lol 😂

That scoring area seems way to small for a grid that narrow
it's a 5x5 scoring net. if you're far from that you don't deserve points lol
@@JP-sae 5x5 on a 30x16 board is still tiny
@@doomse150 youre not supposed to get it by luck
I prefer the sequel, tints and hints
seems like a nightmare if you are colorblind.
I've been pondering how to make it more accessible, my two ideas are: special boards for different vision types. If one friend has red-green colorblindness than everyone plays on a board with a restricted color palette.
Either that or everyone wears glasses that are tinted so that everyone's vision gets close to the colorblind person's vision... I actually kinda like this idea as it would add extra challenge, and it would be somewhat educational
Well, this sounds like fun…
This seems like an EXCELLENT game for a foreign language class!
That's exactly the reason why I'm going to buy this game, my students are gonna love it.
Could you recomend any other games for ESL classes? I've been using dixit and taboo but I need something fresh :)
Or even an English class to develop communication skills and vocab.
what about color names that aren't on the list, such as "teal" or "cyan" or "crimson"?
yeah ok
it's a genuine and fair question
That’s allowed. 0:53 “Abstract colors, such as lavender or seafoam, are allowed.”
There needs to be alternate rules for Nude Hues and Clues to decide who goes first!
Tattoos?
Just my immediate thoughts, what if people are playing naked 😂
the person with the most colorful eyes, I guess..
@@widmo206 That's stupid because then the same person will go first every single time
They should have also included a prohibition on giving things like color hex codes.
If you can get points with the colour hex code, you probably deserve those points
How many people do you know that have these codes memorized?
@@ThePrufessa Not most people, but someone who does graphic design, photo editing, or web design is a good candidate for knowing those codes.
@@Lucius_Chiaraviglio no they're not.
@@ThePrufessa If they have to remember hex codes as part of their day job, then they are likely to remember them for a game.
I'm actually very interested in this game because it seems like a ton of fun. I'm going to try to grab this!
Good video- but man this game looks like it sucks. Too clever for a general public, and most people lack the creativity of describing some colors in a new/helpful way. Also points are so arbitrary, mostly luck, not much skill here.
I wish it gave words to go with it so I wouldn’t have to come up with them myself .. it’s quite hard trying to think of things that are certain colours
Yessss THANK YOU
I did no research before I bought it. I thought the Cue Cards would have names of the items associated with that color. Definitely took the fun out of the game quick.
@@T512Xskill issue
All fun and games until the color blind guy joins the room
Idk, looks more like a dance floor to me
This is great! Idk how I’ve never thought to just TH-cam the rules for a game until now lol but this was perfect! In the amount of time it took to watch this, I have a complete grasp of how to play where the same time had me already confused when reading just the first page of rules lol
Plays game: "red"
Everyone places.
Colorblind kid places in same general area.
"Greener Red"
Everyone looks at you like your retarded but places pieces.
Colorblind kid places piece.
Shows card, it was exodia the forbidden one.
You get no points but win the duel.
En passant is not allowed.
pov: you're color blind
Take a shot if someone uses a pop culture reference to describe a colour.
color blind ppl:
why doesnt the cue giver say a really random word so other people get points?
I always thought it was Hues and Clues. Eh, close enough. 😂
Good game for a group of color blind people
Hmmm. Doesn’t seem very colorblind friendly…
Lol
Depend on the color blindness to be honest. But it definitely ain't blind friendly
@@Lemony123 Im sever deutan colorblind
Red,oranges, green, brown. Most shades are similar and I can’t tell what color is what. Blues and purples I can’t really tell apart also pink and grey.
I’ve owned a lot of pink shirts and didn’t know until I was told and my favorite color of blue… I found out was purple.
it has to be?
I Hate Colourblind People: The Game
This is a bit like Password, but with colors to be guessed.
youtube: lets recomend this video to him after all he loves theese
me: i already read the rules to this game
This game is potentially vulnerable to some players agree in advance secretly on what exact color a cue may point out
@TripleSGames, isn't indigo and violet allowed?!
Making the like changing 2,3 to 2,4 seems powerful
why wouldnt black be allowed? there is no black or anything similar to black on the board
Very nice video, but this game looks sort of boring.
What about the fruit orange?
the color orange was named after the fruit, as was pink named after a flower, so both of those are technically “abstract colors”

Question about first clue from a player (1:20) After the clue is given do other players rush to place their markers ASAP or is it clockwise?
(sorry if I missed it, I did hear that in the optional 2word clue it's counterclockwise)
What if you're referring to the fruit orange?
Nope, you’ll need to pick a different food that is colored orange
Hues and Cues
ok
I have one
I love hue :)
Yes. I have this
Hmmm, this game is decidedly not colorblind friendly... nor can I think of a way to make it any more accessible
You could engineer separate boards for different vision types, or maybe give everyone special glasses that mimic the least common vision type in the room. Which would be interesting
It's not colorblind friendly because the game is literally based on colors. Sorry.
So this is basically Jackbox's Nonsensory but with colors, huh...
