Our Review:
Apples to Apples, by Out of the Box Publishing, is a funny party game that has taken the country by storm. Each player draws several red apple cards, each of which represents a noun (ranging from Stinky Socks to Guerilla Warfare to Hillary Clinton). On each turn, one player is designated as the judge. The judge takes the top green apple card, which has an adjective on it, and reads it aloud to the group. Each player then throws one or two of her red apple cards, the ones that she feels the judge will see as a good match to the green apple card, into play. Players must act quickly though, as only the first few red apple cards played are judged—the rest are returned to their owners’ hands. The judge then reads through the red apple cards, picks his or her favorite match, and awards a point to the owner of the red apple card. The player with the most points is declared the winner.
Apples to Apples is a great game for groups—it’s fast, fun, and is usually the source of plenty of laughs. It’s easy to learn, and you can get started in less than five minutes. Although the game components are adequate, the apple cards can tend to bend a bit in the mad rush to throw them down before your opponents do. One thing to be aware of is that the judging in Apples to Apples is pretty subjective. The judge can choose whatever card he or she thinks is the best match, regardless of what anyone else thinks. Playing with kids is also difficult, because they’re often pretty nonsensical in their matches—but that’s all part of the fun of the game. The moral of the story is to know your audience. If you know what card would appeal to the judge, toss it in. It’s worth a try. It’s a pretty safe bet that Apples to Apples will be a hit at your next party.

 DUMB and DUMBER
This is absolutely the most boring board game I have ever played. I am a 28 year old mom of 3. However, I played this with other adults at a party. The host brought it out and was all excited about playing. I couldn't wait for the game to be over! I thought it was thoughtless and so very boring! I would not recommend this game to anyone!

 So Much Fun!
I have played this with quite a few different groups, including 2 other couples, parents and sisters,and of course our friends. No matter who we play with, the game is full of laughs and really fun!
It's the best game of the night, no matter which other games get played.

 Overrated
I heard some great reviews of this, but after trying it several times, I'm bored. There is no depth to this game, it's all about how much comedy you can create by making offbeat and zany answers to the subject matter. If you don't have a bunch of jokers playing it will be extemely boring and straighforward. I'd recommend this for kids or teenagers, they might enjoy it a lot. Not so much for adults. Maybe that's just me.

Pass on this
I found it boring. Some people at the table liked it. I'll pass.

 Great for a game night
Inviting lots of people over? Here's a game with almost no rules that you can drop in on and can have fun while waiting for other games of more substance. This game is fun but will probably wear thin after a while.

Best Game
When there is a new game that someone brings home we play it once maybe twice then we say, "Great, now can we play Apples to Apples?!" It's the best game especially when you put the exact opposite of what the describing card is.
