I had a pretty good time this weekend. I usually get together with a couple of friends on the weekends to drink and chill and play some games. Of course we have to play the infamous Spades but we have also started to get into party games. I know this may not sound like the kind of fun most people are into but take my word for it, you have got to try some of the party games that are out now. They will have you doing all kinds of crazy shit. My favorite one right now is this game named "Apples to Apples". This game is really crazy but very simple. Well I guess I should say, the concept of the game is very simple. But, depending on what you have in your hand, it could be a lot more difficult. The object of the game is to be the first person to get 8 green cards. To start out, there are both green (adjective) cards and red (noun)cards in the game. Each player gets 7 red cards. The first reader (judge) picks a green card. Remember the greens cards are Adjectives so the object is to match your red Noun card to the green card selected by the first reader (judge). Yeah like I said earlier it sounds easy but check this out.
What if the green card read is the word "corrupt" and in your hand you have "Electricity, Spyware, A Dozen Red Roses, Private Schools, The Williams Sisters, Slip & Fall, & Backstreet Boys"? What the hell could you put down out of that hand to describe the word "corrupt"? And yes you have to put down a card.
Once you decide out of those choices, you put down the card. The person who read is the judge and they have to decide which card (1 from each player) is the best card to describe the word "corrupt". This is when you get to try to sell the hell out of the bullshit card you just put down. If it works and they pick your card then you get the green card. But if you're playing with stubborn people, or people who want to use their own logic then you are probably screwed. But the game continues until someone gets 8 cards. It is a lot of fun. Just be prepared for the arguments. Because I guarantee it will not go as planned. And, that's "Apples to Apples". I really suggest you try it out and let me know what you think. Once you realize you love it, I will go ahead and take all the credit. Holla.
What the Matrix?

I almost retired playing this game due to crazy judging. Judging is based on what the judge feels not common sense. Also, I am never wrong.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Antoine. Oh, wait I am Antoine.
