Apples to Apples

Calob & Callie received the game "Apples to Apples" from Santa for Christmas this year. I had heard about it from time to time but heard LOTS about it in the week leading up to Christmas. Weird. Anyway, we played for the first time the other night & had a really fun time. If you don't know how to play (Terence, Callie & I played for the first time that night) here you go - 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 he/she likes best. Sounds simple, right? Well, yeah ... sort of. The hard part is trying to figure out which card the judge is going to pick. I was the first judge & I took a picture of the cards. I had to pick the red apple card that I thought matched "legendary" the best. What do you think I chose? (hush Jerrie, you already know)

I chose Tom Cruise. Yes, he's crazy ... but it's all good. He's a great actor. I did have to think about it though. I thought all 3 cards fit the green apple card but chose Tom in the end. I think it would be really fun to play with another family (in addition to ours, of course) and really see how crazy it could get. We had a few minor/major "discussions" about a few of the rounds, but it was all in good fun. I can't wait to play again.
