Description
The colours have to flow unbroken from card to card. Color Addict: Puzzle is a card game in which you lay cards like dominoes, except that the colours have to match along every edge. The box holds two games: a colour game to play with others and a puzzle you can also solve on your own.
How to play Color Addict: Puzzle
In the colour game, everyone gets seven colour cards and one card is placed in the middle of the table. On your turn, you lay one card so that its edges match the colours of the cards already on the table. If you can't, you take a black-and-white card from the pile and wait for your next turn. A black-and-white card can be placed anywhere, as long as the colours of the neighbouring cards don't clash. The first player to lay all of their cards wins.
In the puzzle, you use all 35 colour cards to build a rectangle of five rows of seven cards in which every edge matches. So far, 713 different solutions have been found. You can also play the colour game on your own, trying to fit all the colour cards together.
Why you will like it
- One box holds a competitive game for a group and a puzzle for one.
- Every card you lay opens or closes edges, so you have to think about where you place it.
- A black-and-white card saves you when no colour card fits.
- In the puzzle, you can keep looking for new solutions, as there are hundreds of them.
Who is Color Addict: Puzzle for
It is played by two to six players aged 7 and up, and the colour game takes about 15 minutes. The rules are simple, so it suits children and families. With more than four players, everyone gets fewer cards. On your own, you can solve the puzzle or play the colour game, which takes 20 to 30 minutes. There is no text on the cards, and this edition comes with Slovenian rules.
What you might not like
The colour game is short and doesn't involve much planning, as a lot depends on the cards you are dealt. It may not suit players who prefer longer games with more decisions.
