There are 480 shades on the board in front of you! After getting one- and two-word cues, everyone places their marker on which color they think is being described. "Coffee" Is it dark brown, as in freshly brewed? "Au lait" With milk. That means I should pick a lighter shade! Use examples from everyday life, from nature to pop culture, or materials and moods. Everyone around the table gets a turn to give cues and guess. The better your hints or guesses, the more points you earn. Play off others' experiences to narrow down what they have in mind!
