Objective | To have the most green apple cards at the end of the game |
Preparation | - Remove the card tray from the Apples to Apples box. - Set the box aside; it will act as a discard area for red cards during game play. - Shuffle the deck of green apple cards and place it in the center of the table. - Choose a player to be the first judge. Try to choose someone who is familiar with gameplay if you are demonstrating the game to new players. |
Gameplay | - The first judge will shuffle the red apple deck and deal 7 red apple cards to each player, including him or herself. - Once players have been dealt all of their red apple cards, they may look at them. - The judge will turn over the top card on the green apple stack and place it face up in the center of the table. - Everyone but the judge should examine their hands of red apple cards and choose the card that they think best matches the word on the upturned green apple card. The choice can make sense (like choosing 'Nuclear War' for a red apple card that says 'Violent') or it can be silly or funny. - The judge is not bound by any rules when they choose their favorite card, so the best strategy is to play a card that you think the judge will like. - When each player chooses a card, he or she should put it face down on the table so that no one can see it. When all players have laid down their cards, the judge will pick up the cards without looking at them and mix them into random order. - Once the red apple cards are mixed, the judge will look at all of them and choose the card that he or she feels is the best match for the green apple card on the table. - The green apple card is awarded to the person who played the winning card, and the judge discards all red cards into the box. - Play moves clockwise, with the person on the judge's left becoming the new judge for the next hand. - All players but the judge from the previous hand draw a new red apple card and play continues as before. |
Winning the Game | - The game continues until a player has won a specific number of green apple cards. Standard rules are as follows:
- These numbers can be modified if players would like to lengthen or shorten the game. |
