Apples to Apples is just way too fun. Whether you are playing it with kids, adults, or both, you will enjoy it.

The thing I like the most about the game is that it's fast paced, never boring, and doesn't take an hour or two to play most games only last 20-30 minutes TOPS!

On a side note about the expansion sets that are available for the game, the original "Core Game" and its expansions have been retired and replaced by the "Party Box". The "Party Box" contains the entire collection of cards from the original "Core Game" plus the "Core" expansion sets 1 & 2.

The "Party Box Expansion 1" contains cards from the third and fourth "Core" expansions, and a "Party Box Expansion 2" contains all new cards.

I know I had a hard time trying to figure out all of the different versions and expansions, so hopefully this will help somebody out there.

Wow. This game is an ingenius idea! Why didn't I think of it? For those who love a good, fun, educational, durable, perfect game, try Apples to Apples! It doesn't matter if you get the Junior edition or Party Box expansion - they're all great editions of my favorite game. If you haven't played Apples to Apples, you need to play NOW. The game play is basic and simple - you don't have to be the smartest person in class to figure out how to play! For anyone any age, try Apples to Apples - I've even seen a three year old play!

Basically, the judge, which everyone gets a chance to be, hands everyone five cards. Then, the judge lays a green card down in the center. Each player looks through their cards, which they don't show to anyone, and lays down one card of theirs facedown that fits the adjective of the green card. The judge doesn't lay a card down. Then, the judge turns the cards up and chooses the most creative card that fits the adjective. At the end of the game, whoever has the most green cards wins.

Try it today, or you're seriously missing out.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed overall in this expansion set, January 6, 2008

This review is from: Apples to Apples Party Box Expansion 1 (Toy)

We love our Apples to Apples party box and were excited to add this expansion pack to it. However my family was disappointed overall in this set because most of the cards are combos containing ampersands. For example noun cards include fame & fortune, bells & whistles, arm & a leg, etc. Adjective cards include plump & tender, hail and hearty, rough & ready, hit & miss, fast & furious, etc. My teenagers were especially annoyed by these cards because many of them are just so vague. We've tried to mix them together with the cards in the party box so that nobody gets an entire handful of them again (lots of moans when that occurred) but it'll take some time to get them all evenly distributed. I hope that expansion set 2 does not contain so many cards of this type and I'll ask around to make sure before I purchase it.
