Apples to Apples |
The idea behind Apples to Apples is super simple – cards are divided
into two types, red apples and green apples. Red apple cards name a noun
– person, place, thing or event – while green apple cards feature an
adjective. Players each hold a hand of red apple cards, and take turns
acting as Judge. The Judge puts down a green apple card, and all the
other players must slap down their choice of the red apple card that
best fits the adjective. Then it’s up to the judge to choose the
winner. All of which is actually a lot more fun than it sounds – the
game is very fast-paced, and the associations people make can reveal
quite a bit about their personalities. Apples to Apples is a fun and
easy game to play with a large group of people.

Loaded Questions | Loaded
Questions is one of the great, undiscovered party board games. It’s
the late night game of choice at my game-queen friend Eileen’s house,
where many a board-game-wary quasi-adult has found themselves
reluctantly sucked into "just a round or two" before heading
home. An hour and a half later, they’re almost always still playing.
The premise is simple: one player asks a question to which all the other
players must then jot down an answer. The questions are all personal,
ranging from "When I dance, I look like _____" to "Who in
this room do you most admire, and why?" The person who read the
question must then guess which person wrote which answer. Truth be told,
the questions are so fun that we’ve never even bothered actually
playing with the board, but if one were to keep score, the guesser would
advance one space on the board for each answer that was correctly
matched to the person who wrote it. Though it’s easiest to figure out
who wrote what when you’re amongst good friends, the game’s just as
fun when you’re playing with strangers. And by the end of the game,
you’re guaranteed to have learned a whole lot more about everyone you
played with. Unfortunately, Loaded Questions can be difficult to find in
stores – Amazon, for instance, doesn’t seem to carry it – but you
can order a copy through www.loadedquestions.com.
