Apples to Apples is a party game originally published by Out of the Box Publishing, and now published by Mattel. It is designed for four to ten players and played for 30–60 minutes.
Apples to Apples was chosen by Mensa International in 1999 as a "Mensa Select" prizewinner, an award given to five games each year. It was also named "Party Game of the Year" in the December 1999 issue of Games magazine and received the National Parenting Center's seal of approval in May 1999.
Great fun family game.
This is my least favorite game ever. The judge picks a card that's an adjective, and then everybody chooses a noun from their hand to match that verb. The judge then makes a 100% subjective decision on which best matches. Because the range of adjectives and nouns is huge, you rarely have an appropriate noun in your hand. The result is a pile of non sequitirs every round. It makes for good jokes, but hardly any game at all.
