cbaker8887's Full Review: Apples To Apples Party Box Card and Party Game
Apple to Apples is an extremely fun party game good for 4 or more people.
The set up is very easy. The game comes with 756 red apple cards with name of a person, place, or thing on it. There are 252 green apple cards which a characteristic of a person, place, or thing.
If you play with four people, each person gets seven red apple cards. You then draw a green apple card that the judge reads to the players and lays face down on the table. The other players have to choose a red apple card that best matches the green apple card. The judge picks the red apple card that is the best fit and the player that laid down that red apple card wins the green apple card. If you are playing with four people the first person to win eight green apple cards wins the game. (That number is reduced when there are more players).
It's even more fun because everybody gets to be a judge. The role of judge passes to the next player going counterclockwise. There are many reasons this game is very fun.
First, you can get some very funny comparisons. For example, let's say the green apple card is "dainty" - delicate, elegant, graceful. Let's say you have several red apple cards but the only one you can come up with is "hippopotamus." The judge may find that such a funny opposite he or she may choose that card as the winner.
Second, you can't cheat. The judge is the sole person who decides who wins the green apple card. You can hide and not let the judge know what you played, or you can sit and lobby the judge to choose your card. It's a wide open contest. It does get a little annoying when someone always chooses their spouse's card regardless, but it's not against the rules. You can even play to the personality of the judge.
Third, you can play with a lot of players and the more players you have, the more fun the game becomes because you get even more funny comparisons.
And finally, the game is very fast moving and often after one game is over, people want to play it again.
I highly recommend this game for an easy, fast paced party game.
