I was awarded a copy of the The Op Games’ Hues and Cues by Tryazon. A friend of mine held a game night at her house where we played this game. There were 11 people — 5 couples and one child.
The game got really mixed reviews.
PROS:
- The board game is really colorful and pretty.
- Ben liked it.
- Clark thought it was easy to learn.
- Traci thought it was fun, but didn’t want to play more that one game.
CONS:
- The game pieces were a little bit slippery and sometimes hard to place on the board, especially when the pieces were clustered together.
- The game was very hard with only giving 1 or 2 word clues.
- The game also seemed to go on for a long time.
- Suzy thought it was boring.
- Mike didn’t like it and felt it was redundant.
SUGGESTIONS:
- This game is too hard for kids — keep it with adults only.
- Instead of just one or two words, try using full descriptive sentences, or even make it a bit of a story. “As I was walking one early spring morning, I noticed the dew glistening on the grass in the field as the sun rose.”
- Add time limits to speed up the game. For example, you get 10 seconds to think of a description and 3 seconds to place your piece on the board.
The Op Games provided me with an extra copy and I gave it to the couple that hosted the game night as a thank you.
Thanks to The Op Games and Tryazon for a fun game night!
