Review: Best for family gatherings - I don't know that a group of cocktail drinking adults could sit through too many rounds of this game without feeling a little silly, but it's perfect for mixed company. We always played tons of games at family gatherings and around the holidays when the whole motley crew would be staying with my grandparents...but as they began getting up in years it was harder for them to play host & hostess to all of us and things gradually started transitioning to my folks house more and more. My parents had candyland from when I was little (25 years ago) and that wasn't really cutting the mustard. I took it upon myself to get on desertcart and order a dozen or so games for them to keep at their house and this was one of them. I had never heard of it before. I ordered it because I basically ordered the top 12 most popular games that appeared to be family friendly. It has been a few years since I purchased this and I can report it has gotten the most use out of the whole lot. I believe it's been such a big hit for the following reasons: - its easy enough for little kids to play & really enjoy (if they can read, they're old enough to play without a helper) - its fun for adults to play if there are little kids playing or hilarious old people playing - its good for families that don't see one another a lot because it involves a degree of making personality inferences when you're playing to win - every turn involves all the players so nobody has time to mess with their smart phone or iPad or whatever - its like actually engaging family time - it goes by pretty quickly. It's nothing like the time it takes to play monopoly or trivial pursuit and the like. If everybody is having fun then you just play another game but if you're nearing dinner time or whatever the game can wrap up pretty quickly. - I don't think it matters how many people play, it's basically just a card game. 2 players wouldn't work but we've had 8 or 10 playing lots of times - the content is clean, there's nothing vulgar, nothing controversial So, if you ever have company I would for sure keep this game on hand. You can't go wrong. Review: My favorite game! - I love this game! It is one of my favorites. I played other's Apples to Apples games before, including a Junior version, and they are all great! I bought this to bring to a family reunion, where we were staying for a few days. This is a simple game to learn, gets everybody laughing, and is very engaging. People just watching from the sidelines seem to enjoy it, as well. There is no major strategy, or heavy thinking; it is just a relaxing, fun, enjoyable game that anyone can play. I highly recommend Apples to Apples. ## Features - This item has been discontinued by the manufacturer - Apples to Apples [Discontinued by Manufacturer] - 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 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00112CHCK | | Best Sellers Rank | #195,395 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #3,142 in Dedicated Deck Card Games | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,761) | | Department | Unisex-Adult | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Item model number | N1384 | | Manufacturer | Mattel | | Manufacturer recommended age | 12 years and up | | Product Dimensions | 10.5 x 1.5 x 10.5 inches | | Release date | December 10, 2007 | ## Images ![Apples to Apples Party in a Box Family Game with Over 500 Cards - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812MAS17eFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there an adult version?** A: Cards against Humanity is made by a totally different company. There IS an adult version of apples to apples. **Q: What is the difference between the standard and this "Party Box" version? Thanks!** A: I am not really sure what the difference is, I have the Party Box (which has 756 red nouns and 252 green adjectives) so I assume the standard box would have fewer cards. I can tell you I have played many, many games with my daughters/family and this is our favorite. I have bought it for gifts as well. Easy to learn no matter what the age. It is especially fun with different age groups playing because each generation has a different frame of reference. We laugh and enjoy each and every moment. Can't go wrong with Apples to Apples! **Q: Why is this called the "Family Edition"?** A: I believe it's because there are no off-color cards. It's appropriate for anyone to play. There are a few different versions, including one that's a little more "adult"...I've never actually seen that one or played it, so I can't speak about the content. Anyway, the family version is a lot of fun for any age group and its easy to learn. Also, even though the cards are "all-age appropriate", depending on the cards you choose to play it can still get a little raunchy...but it will go right over the kids heads. Hope this helps! **Q: Has anyone played the game kids create absurdity? i hear its like cards against humanity but for kids and also a bit like apples to apples.** A: Game kids create absurdity? No, we haven't ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best for family gatherings *by L***Z on August 4, 2013* I don't know that a group of cocktail drinking adults could sit through too many rounds of this game without feeling a little silly, but it's perfect for mixed company.
