Colour Lines is a board game released in 2024 for 1–5 players, 15–30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Rita Modl and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Paper-and-Pencil.
In Colour Lines, you try to reach the different colours on your game sheet as smartly as possible - with the help of two lines that get longer and longer as the game progresses! The dice show you what you have to draw – which can be tricky figures sometimes. Whoever manages to navigate their "Colour Lines" most cleverly through the colours collects the most victory points – and those are hidden everywhere. A challenging solo mode, several variants and two different game sheets guarantee variety. —description from the publisher
Colour Lines supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Colour Lines is 15–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Colour Lines for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
