At the start of each round, six cards featuring different images with colored areas (red, blue, green, yellow) are displayed in a circle. A color is selected (via stick or die), and players simultaneously select which card they believe contains the most patches of that color.

Once selections are made, a red filter chip is placed on the chosen cards’ matching colored corner to reveal whether the player’s pick was correct. Correct players earn that card as a point. The circle is refreshed, cards are reoriented, and the next round begins.

The game supports multiple variants: for example, searching for the least amount of a color, combining dice for more complex color choices, or expanding the number of active cards for added challenge. Color Chaos is accessible, fast, and fun for families.
