Confusion (2000)

About this game

A very confusing game, Confusion. There are 3 dice: a color die, a word die, and an action die. Each die has a background color and some other piece of information. If the word on the word die and the color on the color die don't match, be the first to throw out a card of the color that is missing (there are only 3 colors total). If they do match perform the action on the action die. Collect the most points by not being last or freezing up. There is also a variant that complicates things further.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
