Sour Apples to Apples (2011)

About this game

An Apples to Apples variant where the judge selects not only the best match, but also the worst match supplied by the players. A "spinning apple" device is used to determine the punishment for the worst answer - such as being forced to playing a card the next round before the topic is revealed. Red and green cards are combined in this version, so only one deck of cards is supplied. From the publisher - "Get ready for fun with Apples To Apples Sour Edition, a comparison game that rewards good answers and punishes bad ones. The game includes challenge cards and a fun apple spinner. Plays up to eight people"

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
