Granny Apples (2005)

About this game

Roll them apples! In this fast-action dice game, race against your opponents to count the exact number of apples scattered in play. Watch out for birds, worms and apple pies that take away from the total. Count as quickly as you can and be the first to shout out the answer, but don't make a mistake or else you lose half your apples! The player with the most apples when Granny's basket is full wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
