As far as games that exercise your noodle this probably edges out cranium. Even though it seems really simple with having 7 nouns and trying to match up the best one with the adjective on the card in the middle the interactions that occur between contestants is great. Some people try to convince the judge that theirs is awesome, while other players specifically save cards for certain judges even if the adjective doesn't match up perfectly. This is less of a game about perfectly matching up a noun with an adjective and more about all the social interactions that follow.

I just went to a party last night with about 20 people. Now all of these people aren't the kind who would say, "OK! Let's play a board game tonite!". You know those kind of people. Well, someone brought out Apples to Apples. I had never played it before and was curious about it. Everyone wanted to play it! We played for hours because everyone was having so much fun! It was fun argueing about whose card was the best. My favorite was when the green card was 'desperate' and someone put 'Bill Clinton'. For those of you who don't know how to play, this is the version I played last night. We seperated into teams and each team got 7 red cards (nouns). Then, one green card (adjective) is flipped over. Each round, there is a different judge. So if your team is the judge, you don't put out a card for that round. So say the green card is 'weird'. And your 7 red cards are 'bubbles, cheap motel, inside the sun, a high school bathroom, bill clinton, james dean, and italy'. You have to pick the card that is the most weird. Each team picks their card and gives it to the judging team. They pick which card is the weirdest and gives the green card that said 'weird' to the team with the weirdest red card. You win when you get 5 green cards. This game is certainly fun for all ages!!

This is one of my favorite family games. It can easily be played by a large number of people, which is always a good thing. Essentially, in this game each player is given seven "red apple" cards, each of which has a noun on it, such as "a school cafeteria," "the FBI," or "sharks." Each card also has a little bonus description or joke, such as "many species living today are similar to those from 100 million years ago. Because change is scary." Each round, a different player is "it," and flips over a "green apple" card, which ahs an adjective on it, such as "hardworking," "foreign," or "shy." The other players each choose on of their noun cards they feel the "it" player will choose as being the best match for the flipped-over adjective. The player whose "red apple" card is chosen keeps the "green apple" card- first player to reach a certain number of green cards wins.

This game is a lot of fun- it has next to no set up and can easily be transported without the box if the occasion arises. Works well with large or small groups, and with people you know well or are getting to know. It is a really good buy.

Although this version does not have the nice shiny cover, it's still just as good.
