Selected Board Game for March: Apples to Apples

Next meeting: Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 14:XNUMX p.m.

applestoapples“The name of the game is to play on the phrase “apples to oranges,” and the game is about making comparisons between different things. General game play is as follows: players are dealt red cards which have a noun printed on them, and the judge (a different player in each turn) draws a green card on which an adjective is printed and places it for all players to see. Each player then chooses a red card they are holding that they think best describes the green card. The judge then decides which adjective she likes best.”
