What Is the Game Apples to Apples?
Apples to Apples is a party game for 4 to 10 players ages 12 and up. In each round, one person acts as the judge and has control of green apple description cards. Everyone else gets red cards, which have the words of things on them. The judge plays a green card by reading it and throwing it on the table. The other players quickly play a red card that they think is best described by the green card. The judge decides whose card is the best match for the green card and awards the green card to the player who made the match. The game is won when a player collects a certain number of green cards. Games take 20 to 30 minutes.
