Apples to Apples (1999)

The reviewer highly praises the 'Apples to Apples to Go' edition for its excellent portability, sturdy design, and overall convenience, making it an ideal choice for travel and family gatherings. The reviewer emphasizes that this version successfully adapts the classic party game for on-the-go play.

“The indisputable fact is that A2A represents more of a challenge than CAH. It’s not automatically fun: You have to make it fun, which is so much more rewarding.”

“One of the most beloved classic board games of all time, Apples to Apples has earned its winning place in many a collection for good reason.”

The reviewer highlights the classic party game's ability to generate humor through subjective card pairings, where players often playfully defend their seemingly outlandish choices to the judge.

“It goes without saying, this is a great game. Perfect for a small family game night and for a larger party of adults.”

“In short, it's Cards Against Humanity, only family-friendly. Also, it came out first in 1999 and CAH was a parody of it.”

“Apples to Apples is a far, far better game. It needs no help! If a player is prone to off-color humor, they can find it here and such humor will not be forced.”

“After they have read all of the submitted cards, they will choose which card they like the most. This can be the card that best fits the green card, is the funniest, or is the best by any other criteria.”

The reviewer found Apples to Apples: Big Picture to be a fun addition to the series, highlighting its extensive card count that promises longevity, despite some minor concerns about the age-appropriateness of a few cards.

The video provides a concise overview of Apples to Apples, highlighting its straightforward rules and appeal as an engaging party game that encourages fun comparisons among players.

“The popular game is reimagined as a dice game, where the judge rolls a green 20-sided die marked with letters to create an adjective. Players then roll red six-sided dice to form nouns based on the rolled letters.”

The reviewer finds Apples to Apples to be a fun and enjoyable party game, particularly suitable for families, though he notes it lacks deep strategy and isn't a game he would personally seek out to purchase or play. He concludes it offers a good deal of fun despite not being amazing.
