We get it out every time guest come over. The answers are really funny and with a great group of friends, we always split our sides laughing. www.playyourredcard.com is a good place to check it out before you fork out the cash for one.

I've played it at summer camp and with my cousins, and I love it! Things do get really random, but it's so fun! I love this game!

We have also found that our group has certain wild cards, but ours are usually cards like "festering wounds", "vomit" and "creamed corn". Who knows why... My wife has been quoted as saying "When 'underwear' comes up I always pick it". We aren't sure if she was talking about apples to apples or not, but it is funny nonetheless. It would be interesting to see what other peoples wild cards are. Thanks for the comments.

Easy to understand, easy to have fun with and almost no learning curve. Yeah, we do run into the people who get annoyed by non-related judging wins, but we just leave them out. One thing you might do just to make it a little more interesting: We have a set of 'trump' cards, ones that almost guaruntee you a win. Adolf Hitler, Rosa Parks, AIDS, things like that, things that are completely unrelated to anything, they somehow make us laugh. Probably just the juxtaposition of Rosa Parks to the Violent card. Try removing cards like that if they get a little overused. We’ve had Apples To Apples in my dorm complex for the last few months and your review is spot on.
