Loved for its zany spontaneity and humorous results, Apples to Apples™ is the ultimate icebreaker. The family game favorite challenges players to outwit and anticipate the actions of others while taking into consideration personality, preferences and individual senses of humor.

I am thrilled that this classic, childhood card game is gearing up to enter my gaming world! My kids will love playing this on Christmas morning!
