I have 5 children, from college to 1st grade and this was a game we could all enjoy! My autistic, nonverbal son actually won the first game!!! This will become a greeat family tradition at our home.

This is a great kids game. I have given it as a gift several times. I like the fact that someone can decide to either leave the game or join after it has started and it doesn't effect anything. As we all know some kids have longer attention spans than others!

My 7 year-old niece enjoys being included in games with the grown-ups. This is the game she always reachs for. It doesn't bother her that she doesn't know who Abraham Lincoln is or sometimes can't always read the cards. In fact, that's how she improves her reading skills & vocabulary, by asking what some of the words are & having their synonyms read.

This is how a round works: A judge for that round pulls a green card & reads the word, for example, "calm"; the other people playing have five red cards in their hand. They have to choose a red card from their hand they think the judge will think most resembles the green card. An example hand might be icecaps, making dinner, pencils, marshmallows, & Abraham Lincoln. The judge mixes up the cards thrown down, turns them over & decides which concept matches the green card most closely. Other ways to play the game are to choose the red card that is most dissimilar to the green card or the funniest red card. The game can be as short or as long as you like & everyone laughs, groans, or protests the judge's decision. Great creative game for the family. This level is probably for ages 8 + up, but 7 year olds can play & enjoy being included. : )

My grandson loves this game and is always very enthusiastic about playing. This is a "great communicator" game, helping children to improvise, debate, make presentations, enchance speaking tools, etc. Apples to apples also becomes a very comedic and entertaining event!

Everyone's heard of Apples to Apples, but what about the younger kids? They don't know enough of the references in the adult version, to play along. For kids, there's the Apples to Apples 9+ version. OK, it does say 9+, but for gifted kids, I'd make that 6+, and play the whole family together.

Apples to apples is the fun of finding the words to fit the topic (green apple), but also making your choice based on who's doing the judging this round. Since the judge changes with every round, the challenge changes, too.

Our family loves Apples to Apples, and for our youngest and her younger cousins and friends, the 9+ version is the ticket to fun!

We were most pleased with this game...it's fun for the whole family

and my daughter will be ordering the adult version as well. It is also

great at a kids birthday party....SG

We love Crazy8s and Blokus, but this is our VERY, VERY favorite game! My kids are still learning English so the vocabulary development is an excellent "extra" to this very fun game!

This game was so much fun! It was little difficult playing with my niece (who is 10) and the rest of the family (we're 30 years old +). But it was still wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend this game to anyone who wants to spend some quality time with their family and friends.

My daughter first played this game with her cousins one night when visiting with them and the power went out. They sat by candlelight laughing and playing and having such a good time I came home and ordered it for us to have at home.

Great for camping entertainment to play in evenings with kids.

Good family fun, thank you!!!
