Apples To Apples, Works For Me!

A week and a half ago, when I went to Nashville to meet up with some of the WAH girls, we spent some time playing a game called Apples to Apples.  I'm sure it was a combination of who I was playing and the game itself that provided such a hilarious time!  Have you ever heard of it?  I thought it was new but it actually came out in the 90's.  If you are having a party and need a fun game to play - this one is it!!

How do you play?  Each player receives seven "red apple" cards on which each is printed a noun or noun phrase.  The judge (each player takes turns) draws a "green apple" card on which is printed an adjective.  From each players red apple cards, each player chooses a card that they think is the best match for the adjective.  The judge decides which noun is the best match for the adjective.  The judge's decision is completely subject and often picks the card that is most creative, humorous, etc.  Some might think it is funny if "bubbles" is picked for "touch-feely" and some may not!

Believe me, you just need to give it a try!!

I've never played-sounds very fun! My new favorite game is actually from a Learning Kids store. It's called Left Right Center. It teaches right from left for kids. Adults can play with real money...very fun!

I love this game too! I think it is great if you are having a get together with a group of people who don't all know each other. It allows people to quickly get acquainted and learn interesting things about each other. However I usually have the upperhand at these get together since I know everyone! But SHHH don't tell them...they haven't figured out why I always win.

We played a game last night called Last Word at our girl's night. It's hilarious and a great group game. I like Apples to Apples, but I like this one better. You should check it out!

We were playing Apples to Apples at a women's retreat that I was at several years ago. At one point I started laughing so hard that I didn't take a breath and actually passed out cold!

I still love playing it, but remind myself to breathe every once in a while...
