Apples to Apples Kids (2001)

About this game

As its name implies, this is a version of Apples to Apples designed for kids, although the basic game still works well with adults, too. Compared to the original game, this edition features simplified words that even young children can understand and has no "suggestive" words that adults would be uncomfortable explaining to the kids. Out of the Box re-named this editon in 2007 from Apples to Apples Junior! to Apples to Apples Kids. Note: This is a different game from Apples to Apples Junior; In 2007, when Apples to Apples Junior! was changed to Apples to Apples Kids, Apples to Apples Junior 9+ was changed to Apples to Apples Junior. Part of the Apples to Apples Series.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 10.
• 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 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
