Rainbow Rage (2016)

About this game

Game description from the publisher: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet — the colors of the rainbow. Easy, right? Better think again because this isn't your average rainbow. Big Potato are excited to present their most tense, all-or-nothing game to date: Rainbow Rage. The rules are simple: flip a rainbow card, spot the difference and race to grab the two colors that have swapped places. Spot a perfect rainbow card (with all the colors in the right order) and shout "Rainbow!" to pick up a color of your choice. Once you've collected every color and built your own perfect rainbow to victory, you're declared the winner. Doesn't sound too stressful? Well watch out, keeping hold of your colors isn't as easy as you might think. Grab the wrong color? Return one to the middle. Grab both wrong colors? Return two to the middle. Over excitedly yell "Rainbow!" at the wrong moment? Return all of your colors to the middle. Strap yourself in and get ready to tame some rainbows!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
