Apples to Apples

I wouldn't be the same without it

The best game ever! Think about this for a second: you and each of your friends are given a bunch of red cards with nouns on them. Then a green card with an adjective is pulled from the deck and placed on the table in front of you. All but one of you picks which of your red cards (nouns) best matches the green card (adjectives). The one person who wasn't putting a red card down then picks which one he or she thinks should win! What could be better? Ok...it might sound a little boring at first glance, but think about this: nobody ever actually puts the card down that fits best. It usually becomes a hilarious free-for-all where the goal is to find the funniest combination that fits the judge's sense of humor. I played this game almost every week for years in college and I've never laughed so hard in my life. Our house rule: if you play you have to carve your name into the wooden box that holds the cards. I even have the cardboard sleeve from the box hanging as a poster on my wall. I made most of my best friends playing this game - I wouldn't be the same without it. This game is like an initiation - when your done it's like you've known each other your whole life. Best game ever made.
