Turn pop culture into color with a social, easy-to-learn party game. Pantone: The Game invites players to translate familiar characters into abstract color swatches, using only hue and layout to hint at who or what you’ve chosen. In this second edition, the lineup expands to 180 Character Cards plus 6 blank cards, inviting you to describe original ideas as well as favorites from film, TV, music, and more.

What you get

• 180 Character Cards featuring iconic figures from film, television, music, and beyond
• 6 blank Character Cards to invent your own characters
• Clear, concise rules designed for players aged 8 and up

How to play in a nutshell

One player becomes the Artist and selects a Character Card, then designs a portrayal using only color swatches. Other players try to guess the character based on the color arrangement. If someone guesses correctly, both the guesser and the Artist earn points. If not, a hint is provided at the start of the next round, guiding the action and keeping rounds lively.

• The Artist guides the guessing with thoughtful color choices
• Guessing earns points for both participants; hints can adjust scoring to keep rounds fresh

Why this game shines

The experience evokes a childlike sense of wonder as recognition happens at a glance. Color recognition blends with strategy and quick thinking, making the game approachable for newcomers while offering creative depth for seasoned players. Each Character Card lists four hints, adding strategic options without slowing the pace.

Ideal for your game nights

Compact and portable, Pantone: The Game is perfect for family nights, friend gatherings, and casual parties. The second edition’s expanded card pool keeps rounds fresh, allowing repeat play with new character ideas and color permutations.
