About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a quiz where knowledge isn't your only advantage! In Colourbrain, the big twist is that you already have all the answers in your hand – literally. The challenge is to figure out which of the eleven color cards you possess is the correct one for each tricky question in the game. Sounds easy? Not quite! The questions are designed to make you think about the colors of everything, from famous logos to elements of nature or fictional characters. Each round, a player draws a card with a word or phrase, and simultaneously, all participants select a color card from their hand that, in their opinion, best matches the answer. If you get it right, your pawn moves forward on the board. But here's the catch: to truly score points and get ahead, you need the other teams to get it wrong! It's a fun race where cunning in predicting others' mistakes is as important as your own correct answer. It's a perfect party game for those who enjoy a good trivia challenge with a dash of bluffing and lots of interaction, ideal for enlivening any gathering of friends or family.
