Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons

Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons Review

Apples to Apples Party Box - The Game of Hilarious Comparisons Feature

• Apples to Apples are the game of hilarious comparisons
• It's as easy as comparing apples to apples... just open the box, deal the cards, and you're ready to play
• Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge
• Includes over 1,000 cards
• Each round is filled with surprising and outrageous comparisons from a wide range of people, places, things and events

Apples to Apples is an award-winning party game that will have everyone laughing. We had a blast playing this game and think it is a perfect game for a "board game night" with friends and family. It is quick to set up, easy to learn, challenging, and a whole lot of fun.

The party box includes over a thousand cards for many card combinations. View larger.

Unexpected and funny comparisons make the game fun to come back to again and again. View larger.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Quick set up; inspires quick thinking and creativity; fun for whole family The Bad: Not as fun without at least five players; subject matter targeted for mid-teens and older In a Nutshell: Quick-paced board game requires just a minute to set up and will have everyone laughing for hours At a Glance Ages: 12 and up Requires: At least four players

Smart, Award-Winning Fun
Apples to Apples has won numerous awards including "Party Game of the Year" by Games magazine and "Mensa Select" by Mensa International. And for good reason: it involves quick thinking, humor, and strategy. For teens, the game teaches them to think about how different things can be compared to one another and how analogies are formed. One of our criticisms is that although the game states that it is designed for ages 12 and older, many of the subjects are clearly for older teens.

Hilarious Comparisons and Analogies
The name of the game is a play on the phrase "apples to oranges," and the game is about making comparisons between different things. General game play is as follows: players are dealt red cards which have a noun printed on them, and the judge (a different player in each turn) draws a green card on which an adjective is printed and places it for all players to see. Each player then chooses a red card they are holding that they think best describes the green card. The judge then decides which adjective she likes best.

The fun is in the variety of unexpected comparisons people make, sometimes apt, funny, creative, or simply absurd. For example: people might match "Awkward" with "Oil Spills," "My First Kiss," "Dandruff," and "Gold Chains. " Or: "Painful" with "High School Reunions" and "Regis Philben. " Strategy comes into play since, because each player takes turns being the judge, you begin to pick up on the preferences of each player and tailor your choices accordingly.

Players can also try variations on the basic game play. For example, instead of choosing the most apt comparison, players might try choosing the red card that is least like the green one. These variations keep the game fresh and interesting every time.

Conversation Kick Starter
Part of the fun is in standing up for your choices. For instance, you might discuss why you think "Regis Philben" is painful, or segue into a discussion of the embarrassing situations you got into on your first day of school, or your first kiss. Apples to Apples excels as an ice breaker and promotes a good amount of social interaction, as many conversations will be kick started thanks to these little cards.

More Players, More Fun
Although the box states that the game is playable with just four players, we found that the game is a lot more fun when there are at least five or six players. This increases both the frequency of funny answers and also requires players to refine their strategy a little more. Once we got going, hours passed, and it was only the lateness of the hour that reminded some of us that we had to go home.

This Party Box set comes with more than 1,000 cards total, and will entertain for a long time. Additional expansion sets are available to further increase the variety of word combinations.

What's in the Box
756 Red Apple Cards, 252 Green Apple Cards, card tray, quick play rules.
Apples to Apples is the wild, award-winning card game that provides instant fun for 4 to 10 players. Open the box, deal the cards, and you're ready to play! Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge. If the judge picks your card, you win that round. Everyone gets a chance to be the judge.

Fast fun for everyone.

Families love playing Uno Moo!

Easy to pack up and take to Grandma's for fun on the go!

Laugh and Learn!
Searching for a game where learning and laughter go hand-in-hand? On a basic level, UNO Moo! allows children to practice their colors and matching skills. But players also may find themselves with some “wild” pieces like the Skunk or the Farmer, which adds a bit of strategy and excitement to the game as well. Victory could be just one turn away, but a player better be prepared to say “Uno Moooooo” or else the game continues. Who can win? Anybody. Who will laugh? Everybody.

How to Play
The game begins when a child draws five animal pieces from the barn storage unit and hides them behind his or her individual haystack, out of view from the rest of the players. The first animal piece will be played, by placing it on the top of the barn, resting on the barn door. The next player will compare the animals in his or her haystack with the animal at the barn door. If the animal is a BLUE COW, the player could tip the cow back through the barn door and replace it will any BLUE animal or any color COW. The game continues until a player has successfully played all the animals behind his or her haystack.

Gotcha!
True to the spirit of the original UNO! card game, Uno Moo! has a few “wild” pieces and the shouting “Uno!” requirement. Players who play a SKUNK piece force the next player to add two more animal pieces from the barn to his or her haystack. Players can play a FARMER card at any time. Finally, when a player has only one animal remaining behind his or her haystack, he or she must shout “UNO Moo!” If he or she is caught by another player with one animal before saying this phrase, he or she must add two more animals from the barn to his or her haystack.

What's In The Box?
Includes 1 Play-and-Store Barn, 28 Animal and Farmer pieces, 4 Haystack partitions and Instructions.

Sleeping Queens Review

Sleeping Queens Feature

• Ages 8 and up

Imagine a place where there?s a queen of all pancakes, a king of cookies and a pack of over-protective dragons? If this sounds like something out of a dream, it actually is! Sleeping Queens was invented by 6-year-old Miranda Evarts, who thought up the game one night when she couldn?t fall asleep. She awoke the next morning and with help from her older sister, Madeleine and her parents, Denise and Max created this wonderfully whimsical world of napping nobles. As you immerse yourself in the Evarts? fantasyland, you will find a game that helps develop memory, strategy, and elementary arithmetic skills. Just be careful when playing potion cards or you could wind up putting all the players to sleep! HOW TO PLAY: Rise and Shine! The Pancake Queen, the Ladybug Queen and ten of their closest friends have fallen under a sleeping spell and it's your job to wake them up. Use strategy, quick thinking and a little luck to rouse these napping nobles from their royal slumbers. Play a knight to steal a queen or take a chance on a juggling jester. But watch out for wicked potions and dastardly dragons! The player who wakes the most queens wins. 2 to 5 players. Playing Time: 20 Minutes
