I had heard that the game could cause great dissension and was only for people with thick skin. Certain games have caused massive arguments in our group before, so I was worried that True Colors might be the H-bomb that could destroy a night of gaming So was I correct? The truth is, True Colors was one of the biggest successes at our game table, and it has since come there many times. Ive found that it doesnt work well in all situations, and I have become annoyed a little when I found out what others think of me but its usually great fun! Let me tell you a little more First, let me explain how the game plays (There are various editions, Im discussing the 1999 version by Pressman Toy Corporation.) Each player picks a color and takes a small clothespin of that color, clipping the pin to their clothing so that everyone can identify what color they are. Each player is then given three different cards with symbols (+, 0, and a +/-). They also receive two cards for each other player in the game, with a large color dot on the card denoting that players color. A plastic ballot box is placed in the center of the table, and a deck of question cards is shuffled and placed within reach. The game consists of ten rounds. In a round, a player draws a question card and reads it. Examples include: Youve got a million to spend for your own private art collection., Who would you choose as your art advisor?, Whos the biggest baby?, and Who has no problem whatsoever striking up a conversation even with strangers?. Everybody then determines what player(s) fit that description the best. If only one player fits the description in their opinion, they put both cards with that players color on it in the voting box. Otherwise, they can pick two players and put one card of each of their colors in the box. Votes are to be kept a secret, and players cannot vote for themselves. Then, each player predicts how many votes they got by picking one of their symbol cards and placing it face down in front of them. After everyone has placed a card, the cards are flipped, all votes in the ballot box are tallied, and scoring commences. If a player has placed the + card in front of them, and they received a majority of the votes, they receive three points. If they received no votes, and placed the 0 card, they also get three points. If they received at least one vote (but not the most) and placed the +/- card, they receive one point. If they guessed incorrectly, they receive no points. All points are tallied on a score sheet provided with the game. All the players take back the cards they used to vote (secretly if possible) and the next round starts. After ten rounds, whichever player has the most points is the winner! Some comments on the game 1). Components: The components to the game are quite nice, and all fit very well into the plastic tray that is inside the box. The box is nicely decorated, and fairly durable. The ballot box is of very good quality, and fits together easily, with the cards sliding in and out smoothly. The clothespins are smaller than I would have wanted, but are functional. There still is the occasion where a player strains to see what color another player is (and that, of course, gives away who they are voting for). The voting cards are small, about half the size of a normal playing card. The dark blue background makes the colored dots stand out well, and theres no problem distinguishing between them. (Im not sure about color-blind folk). The eighty-five question cards are double sided, with one side laminated. It doesnt matter when shuffling them, as knowing what the next question is going to be doesnt affect the game that much. A few blank cards are provided, but the 170 questions provided with the game should suffice. Good components for this party game! 2). Rules: The rules are on both sides of a single sheet of paper. They are short and simple, as is the game. There is an example, and after reading them, the game is extremely easy to learn and See less »

I've played this game and it is really fun. Found out a few things about how people see me lol. Apparently I was deemed most likely of our group to cause trouble! No hard feelings, but was played with some really open minded people. Lots of laughs! Another good game for open minded adults is loaded questions the adult version. Never fails to get some laughs and to learn some things about yourself, your spouse, or your friends!

Yeah, you kind of have to be careful with oversensitive people and this game.

This would probably bring on World War 3 in my family of overly sensitive people, but it sounds fun!
