WHY RENT THIS ONE

Why it's worth a spot on your weekend

“Big opinions. Little cards. Questionable judging.”

The younger crowd gets their own seat at the Apples to Apples table.

Apples to Apples Junior keeps the basic idea wonderfully simple: read the prompt, choose the card you think fits, and try to convince the judge that yours is the best answer. The fun comes from seeing the completely different ways kids interpret the same idea, which can make for some genuinely funny moments.

This is an excellent choice for family rentals where the ages are spread out and younger players want to participate in the same kind of game as everyone else. It is easy to explain, easy to replay, and does not require kids to sit through a complicated strategy lesson before they can have fun.
