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 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.

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.

This game is potentially vulnerable to some players agree in advance secretly on what exact color a cue may point out
why doesnt the cue giver say a really random word so other people get points?
Take a shot if someone uses a pop culture reference to describe a colour.

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
And if you’re color blind?
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.
So this is basically Jackbox's Nonsensory but with colors, huh...
