Mattel Games Apples to Apples Party in a Box Family Game with More Than 500 Cards for Game Nights & Parties

I bought this to take to a friends house for game night with his kids. 9 year old boy, 11 year old girl, my friend and his wife, my wife and me. Wife and I have no kids. Game was a huge success. Kids begged for their dad to invite us back for more game nights. We've had 2 and have another next week now. The game is fun for all ages for many reasons. Everyone is participating almost all the time, instead waiting for 5 other people to take their turns. Because all are trying to match a key word, all participate every turn. Also interesting and fun is that the judge for each turn decides the best match based on their own judgement. With my very intelligent friend, his judgement will be very literal and scientific. With his 9yo son, judgement will be whimsical and funny. It is entertaining for all ages. The cards in the junior version definitely contain some famous figures that us older folk (50s) didn't get, but the kids did. Not too many though. The cards have held up to child exuberance so far. I cringe at times at the handling, but none are bent or creased yet. The game is very quick to understand.

The kids love this game, and you learn a lot about them through their choices. There's enough variety in the cards for adults to enjoy, too.

Once you get the hang of it, it is great fun! Played this game on a vacation when our VRBO host had provided a game cabinet. Ordered a copy for our own once we were back home. Good for all ages, though younger players (6-9 yrs) might struggle with some of the references intended by adult players. Good time for all but even better if you have a few players with jaded minds ;)

My boys love playing this game. We definitely have it in rotation for family game night. It was easy for my 6 yr old to learn too.

Mattel Games Apples to Apples Party Box is not the same game as the original Apples to Apples. This is a great game and is fun for all ages but no where near as fun as the original Apples to Apples game. While we did have fun with family and friends (ages 8-50) we didn’t laugh and enjoy the game as much as when we played the original version. This family game is easy to learn and a good time. We love game night and look forward to it. This game comes with 441 Red Apple Cards, 63 Green Apple Cards, a card tray and game rules. This game is very small and easy to store away. Very convenient! Recommended age is 12-15 years old but any age (with guidance) can play and enjoy themselves in my opinion.

Very easy to play and lots of fun for all the players

This is the perfect version for young kids. My kids are 7 and 9. I wanted a game that would help them improve their reading and vocabulary. This game is PERFECT for it and honestly we laughed forever playing this. It's a game my kids actively beg to play. The cards are relatable for them including harrypotter, minecraft, Taylor swift, and Spiderman references. Definitions are simple and to the point. I love that my kids are learning while having a good time with family.

Apples to Apples is one of the most fun and easy-to-play games for group gatherings. Whether you’re playing with kids, teens, or adults, it always leads to laughter and surprising combinations. The rules are simple, which makes it perfect for all ages and quick to jump into. It’s great for family nights, parties, or even classroom activities. If you’re building a board game collection, this one is a must. It never gets old and brings people together every time.
