We love Apples to Apples and we had gone through all of our cards a few times. New cards seemed like the logical choice. However, additional variety in this expansion set would have made things even more fun. All the cards are in the format of "____ and ____", like "sugar and spice" or "hot and spicy". They did add a freshness to our play, but are sometimes very difficult to play with. You might want to buy this, so long as you know what you are in for. We mixed them in with our original set and are having fun with them.

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

This expansion comes with a new pack of cards that are mostly of the form ___ and ___. This may sound like a good idea, but it is clear that the designers didn't really think it through. Some of the red (noun) cards are simply poor combinations (e.g. "Whips & Chains"). For some red cards, there was absolutely no need to make it a combination (e.g. "The Atlantic & Pacific"). And in some cases, you have red cards that don't even qualify as nouns (e.g. "Crash & Burn"). To make things worse, they've adopted the same format for the green (adjective) cards, with adjectives that often contradict eachother (e.g. "Naughty & Nice" or "High & Low"), which makes the whole game difficult to play. There are some good cards, but they are few and far between.

Overall, this expansion was both difficult to play and very unrewarding. It does not live up to the standards of the original.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad Expansion to a Great Game, December 31, 2009

We love the original "Apples to Apples" game. We bought the Expansion 1 set to go with our original game since we wanted more cards to go with it. The Expansion cards have "________and________" for the subject titles and I think that is the reason we disliked it so much. We didn't have any great laughing moments with these cards. It says to include it with the original game. I just don't care for the card format to do that.
