Why it matters
Board games serve as a significant social tool for family bonding and cognitive engagement in an increasingly digital world.
In a world of colours, the key to victory is paying attention to the slightest shade contrasts! What are the odds that you can get another person to guess the colour you are thinking of out of 480 options? Well, this game will put that to the test! With this game, you and your family can have a fun afternoon of colourful banter! Using only your words, which will be the clues for other players, your task will involve slowly nudging them towards the colour on the board that reflects the one chosen on your card!
