Get silly
Apples to Apples | The
idea behind Apples to Apples is super simple – cards are divided
into two types, red apples and green apples. Red apple cards
name a noun – person, place, thing or event – while green apple
cards feature an adjective. Players each hold a hand of red apple
cards, and take turns acting as Judge. The Judge puts down a
green apple card, and all the other players must slap down their
choice of the red apple card that best fits the adjective. Then
it’s up to the judge to choose the winner. All of which is actually
a lot more fun than it sounds – the game is very fast-paced,
and the associations people make can reveal quite a bit about
their personalities. Apples to Apples is a fun and easy game
to play with a large group of people.

Loaded Questions | Loaded
Questions is one of the great, undiscovered party board games. It’s
the late night game of choice at my game-queen friend Eileen’s house,
where many a board-game-wary quasi-adult has found themselves reluctantly
sucked into "just a round or two" before heading home. An
hour and a half later, they’re almost always still playing. The premise
is simple: one player asks a question to which all the other players
must then jot down an answer. The questions are all personal, ranging
from "When I dance, I look like _____" to "Who in this
room do you most admire, and why?" The person who read the question
must then guess which person wrote which answer. Truth be told, the
questions are so fun that we’ve never even bothered actually playing
with the board, but if one were to keep score, the guesser would advance
one space on the board for each answer that was correctly matched to
the person who wrote it. Though it’s easiest to figure out who wrote
what when you’re amongst good friends, the game’s just as fun when
you’re playing with strangers. And by the end of the game, you’re guaranteed
to have learned a whole lot more about everyone you played with. Unfortunately,
Loaded Questions can be difficult to find in stores – Amazon, for instance,
doesn’t seem to carry it – but you can order a copy through www.loadedquestions.com.
