Our favorite party game from last year still yields barrels of fun from a simple core concept. Deal everyone a hand of seven Red Apple cards (nouns), then place a Green Apple card (adjective) in the middle of the table. Everyone decides which of their Red Apples best exemplifies the Green Apples and quickly tosses it in. Last one to toss is a "rotten apple" and has to take his card back. The judge for the round awards the Green Apple card to the person whose Red Apple he prefers. The first player to collect a predetermined number of Greens wins. The Apple tree has a couple of new blossoms this year: Expansion Set #1 ($12.95) with 288 new cards, and Apples to Apples Junior ($15.95) for ages 7 to 11.
