About Colour Chaos
Colour Chaos is a fast card game with colours and action cards for 2–8 players. The cards come in four colours, red, yellow, blue and purple, with the numbers 0 to 9. On your turn you play a card with the same colour, the same number or the same symbol as the top card of the pile. If you can’t play, you draw a card. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins the round.
The action cards bring the chaos: Skip gives the next player a break, Turn Around sends play the other way round, and Take 2 gives the next player two extra cards. With Colour Switch you choose the new colour yourself, and Colour Switch + 4 also gives the next player four cards. And watch out: when you have one card left, you must shout Chaos! If someone else taps Gotcha! before you, you draw 2 cards.
On GameBase you can play in two ways. With a TV and phones, the pile is on the big screen and every player has their own cards and a big Chaos! button on their phone. With one iPad, the screen is passed around and a cover screen makes sure only the player whose turn it is sees their cards. Pick house rules such as stacking draw cards, and play one round or until someone reaches 250 or 500 points. The game is free.
How to play
- Choose TV and phones or one iPad, switch the house rules on or off, and choose how long you play.
- Everyone gets 7 cards, and a number card is turned face up. Play a card with the same colour, number or symbol as the top card.
- If you can’t play, draw a card. If it fits, you may play it straight away.
- Use the action cards: Skip, Turn Around, Take 2, Colour Switch and Colour Switch + 4.
- Shout Chaos! when you play your second-to-last card. The first player with no cards wins the round and scores points for the others’ cards.
