Well, first let me say I have yet to find a person who doesn't get a lot of laughs out of this game. This is a great ice breaking party family game. I have played this game with kids from 7 years old to 70. I have brought this game with me as I traveled around the country and all who have played it want to know where they can get it locally. I was very eager to try the expansion set when it came out and found it just multiplies the fun and laughter. The first Expansion Set includes 72 green Apples cards (Adjectives) and 216 Red Apple cards (Nouns). There is also a couple of game variations on the box to slightly change the flavor of the game.

I will give you a hint of a few cards you will find in the new expansion set so you can see the potential fun. Green Apples include Annoying, Glamorous, Shy, and Witty. Red Apples includes Apple Pie, Austin Powers, Darth Vader, Ear Wax, NYPD, Regis Philbin, Telemarketers, and Zucchini. You can see the dilemma the judge would have seeing who or what is more Annoying: Austin Powers, Regis Philbin, Telemarketers, or Zucchini (late summer when the zucchini is served at every meal and you're 7 years old!). As you can tell, I loved this new set and I am looking forward to another expansion set someday. I hear that there may be a kids' version out sometime soon. Well, aren't we all kids at heart!
