## Description

Product Description The Apples to Apples Junior family party game is made especially for kids. Designed for younger members of the family, it's as easy as comparing "apples to apples." With a hilarious mix of kid-friendly cards, it will keep younger players laughing while building vocabulary and thinking skills. Each round, the "judge" plays a Green Apple card, like "Amazing." The other players choose their best match from the Red Apple cards in their hand, such as "The Last Day of School." Trying to convince the judge that your card is the best answer is part of the fun! Colors and decorations may vary. From the Manufacturer "APPLES to APPLES JUNIOR brings the hilarious card and party game, Apples to Apples, to younger players. Players aged nine and up will delight in all the crazy comparisons, while expanding their vocabulary and thinking skills at the same time. The game is as easy as comparing apples to apples – just open the box, deal the RED APPLE cards to each player, and you’re ready to go! Players take turns being the judge. The judge starts each round by playing a GREEN APPLE card featuring a one-word characteristic such as Chewy, Amazing or Scary. The rest of the players must then look at the RED APPLE cards in their hands and select the one they think is best described by the judge’s card – will you play A Volcano, Unicorns or Burned Toast? When everyone’s RED APPLE cards are on the table, you should try to convince the judge that yours is the best match. You’ll find that table talk is a big part of the fun. Just wait until you hear all the clever – and not so clever – ways that people try to convince the judge to choose a particular card. Do your best, because if the judge picks your card, you win that round! The first player to win four rounds wins the game. With over 500 cards, each round is filled with surprising comparisons from a wide range of people, places, things and events. Fast-moving and refreshing, Apples to Apples Junior is easy to learn and fun to play. It’s the perfect game for kids, families and friends!"

Review: Great game - makes everyone think! - We made a family summer visit and one evening their 10 year old brought out this game. It was a great ruckus, and we bought it right when we got home. It is probably one of the most versatile, social, "intelligent" games around. It's amazingly simple, and does a great job of creating humorous and good natured competition. Since winning is entirely based on the opinion of the dealer/judge, the game scales perfectly with whoever is playing. Since everything is pretty much in the open, "cheating" doesn't really exist, and it's loads of fun to argue over which word should be the best match. It's also offers insight into how your youngins' think. For example, my 6 year old, acting as a dealer, gave us a card of "Fragile." We played the cards "Brains," "Plates," and "Alaska." Now, I think Alaska was a great answer, but my son picked Plates. There is no mean-spiritedness in the game at all.
Review: Great family game - a new favorite in our house - As a family that loves Apples to Apples and Cards Against Humanity, we wanted to introduce our younger set (ages 5, 7 and 8) to Apples to Apples as well. This version, though it says 9 and up, is great for kids who are strong readers and like vocabulary. My children are all capable readers and so can each play this game independently, making for really fun family game nights. I like that almost all the cards are accessible (some references to shows they haven't seen, but I allow them to trade those in), and that they learn new vocabulary from the green cards. They also have learned to think about what each judge would like, and it has sparked great conversations as a family (and jokes - since some family members are very predictable in the cards they will choose when they serve as judges!).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: diferrence between apales jr and apple to apple for kids**
A: I think they are the same thing - only "for kids" has fewer cards in a smaller box. When I pulled up Apples to Apples Kids on Amazon, it actually said Jr. on the box in the picture. But I have Junior and it is a large box with tons of cards. There are even simpler worded cards than Jr. in the Disney version, 7&Up version, etc. I use Jr. with my 6th graders and it is perfect - without any unwanted cultural references like the regular "adult" game. Hope that helps.

**Q: My grandson is 5 years old.  Is that appropriate for his age?**
A: Yes! Our six year old grandson loves playing the game with the family! I think a five year old could be helped to get it easily!

**Q: Which Apples to Apples game has the photographs rather than words on the red cards?**
A: I think it's "Big Picture Apples to Apples". The junior version only has words, but easier than the adult version. I think it's in a blue box.

**Q: We play this game a lot with our grandchildren. Are there any new card sets to update our game? Or does the newest edition have new cards?**
A: Each version has different cards. So the standard, the junior, and the travel set, etc. are all different.

My wife and I have had the regular box set for quite a while. Got this as a gift for our son and new family. Great starter to play with the kids. It definitely helps give you some insight into how people/kids think and respond to things. We keep track of cards won, but you don't need to.
