| geenius's Full Review: Apples to Apples |
You have a hand of "red apple" cards, each naming a person, place or thing ("Cindy Crawford," "Paris, France," "a high school bathroom," etc.). One player, the "judge," reads an adjective ("powerful," "seductive," "creepy," etc.) off a "green apple" card, and as quickly as possible, you have to pick the red apple card from your hand that makes the best match. The judge picks his favorite and awards a point to the player it came from, and then the next player gets to be the judge. In theory, it's sort of simplistic and not very inspiring; in practice, it's flat-out, fall-down hilarious. Add to that the fact that the game is so easy you can literally learn to play just by watching a single turn, and you have a party game that easily stands alongside -- if not above -- classics such as Pictionary and Taboo. It's especially good for teens and young adults. You must buy this game!
Incidentally, if you ever get tired of the cards that come with the game, there's an expansion set out.
