This game had a lot of hype to live up to; it was voted Party Game of the Year by Games magazine and racked up many more honors, including something called the "Major Fun Award." Happily, it did not disappoint. The premise is refreshingly straightforward: Players use one of their red apple cards to match the adjective on the green apple card in the center. Each player takes turns judging which player's card fits best, and therein lies the comedy. Example: When the green-card word was "adorable," one of us thought we had it in the bag with our Meg Ryan card. But no – the judge for that round (a man) ruled in favor of the card reading "supermodels." Curses!  Fun Factor: Whee! Major fun all around.
