Apples to Apples is a brilliant party card game that will appeal to all ages, except that younger ones may need help understanding some of things written on the cards. The idea is deliciously simple. One player is the judge for the round and turns over the top green card and announces “What do I find…” and adds whatever is on the card. For example what do I find funny, smooth, scary, erotic, trendy, trashy, cheap, expensive and so on?

The other players look through there limited selection of red cards to select the one that is the most appropriate, or if all else fails, opt for the comedy answer. The choices are handed to the judge who reveals them and chooses the one they want. There is no right or wrong answer the judge has the final decision.

The combination of limited selections for the players and the quirky personality of the judges can add up to some hilarious answers. In one game, nuclear weapons were described as naughty, an avalanche as boisterous and the sun as cool!

Whoever the judge chooses gets the green card (which represents a score) and the role of judges passes to the next player.

Apples to Apples is a Dice2Mice recommended travel game because: it can be played with up to 25 players and is always found it to be the perfect game to liven up a party or a journey.
