Apples to Apples

This is a great party game. Each player gets cards dealt that are nouns—famous people, places, etc. The players take turns being the judge. The judge picks a card containing an adjective and the other players pick a card from their hand which they think the judge will think is a good match to the adjective card. The cards are mixed up so the judge doesn’t know who gave what card and then picks what he or she thinks is the best match. It’s really hilarious sometimes. And it’s not just about picking a card you think fits well—it’s about knowing how the person acting as judge thinks. It’s a lot of fun.
