5.0 out of 5 starsGreat family game - a new favorite in our house
May 7, 2018
As a family that loves Apples to Apples and Cards Against Humanity, we wanted to introduce our younger set (ages 5, 7 and 8) to Apples to Apples as well. This version, though it says 9 and up, is great for kids who are strong readers and like vocabulary. My children are all capable readers and so can each play this game independently, making for really fun family game nights. I like that almost all the cards are accessible (some references to shows they haven't seen, but I allow them to trade those in), and that they learn new vocabulary from the green cards. They also have learned to think about what each judge would like, and it has sparked great conversations as a family (and jokes - since some family members are very predictable in the cards they will choose when they serve as judges!).

3.0 out of 5 starsKids Seem to Really Enjoy It, but It's Not Quite at the Level of the Original
December 27, 2016
We've enjoyed playing it, but have been slightly disappointed as it's not quite up to the standard that the original Apples to Apples set. One thing that is for sure is that there are less red cards, so you cycle through them quicker, and the kids start saying things like, "We've had this one already!" Another thing is that it really seems pop culture heavy. I know there are plenty of movie stars, athletes, and TV shows in Apples to Apples, but if you don't spend your live on Disney and Nickelodeon, half of this stuff on the red cards is going to go right over your head. Finally, since so many of the red cards are specific things, the amount of lobbying for your card that goes on is sometimes intolerably high. I don't recall lobbying being part of the actual rules in the original edition, and even if it was, my experience tends to be that it's not needed as people are laughing at the cards anyway. With this version, it seems to often be a requirement as people are perplexed as to why such a card even got played. Overall, though, good game, and kids from 6 to 11 seem to really enjoy it.

really disappointed - this is not the same version as just a few years ago - it is really heavy with pop culture references - lots of tv shows & references to Nickelodeon - we don't watch those shows with our kids - we didn't know many of the people & shows listed on the cards - super frustrating - not the game it used to be

The red cards reference current "kid popular culture"--sometimes too much. Grandparents playing this game with grandkids are particularly at a disadvantage. Even with kids ages nine and fifteen, there are some cards that no one in my family had ever heard of.

We have the original Apples to Apples game and my kids( ages 10-14) really didn't get a lot of the words and actors and what not in that game. A little over their head. Now my husband and I got it cause a lot of that stuff was in our days when we were young. We ended up getting the Jr version and it is just perfect!!! Couldn't have been more pleased. More current things in it: Star Wars, Disney channel, videos games and what not related stuff.

5.0 out of 5 starsLove this game...but NO UPDATED CARDS same one for 2015
October 5, 2018
Verified Purchase
So disappointed and false advertising!!!! It shows UPDATED CARDS...but when I received it is the same one I already own from 2015 NO UPDATED CARDS. So if you are buying this because you want updated cards don't buy it from here. I will be returning and going to the store to look for one with updated cards. 5 Stars for the game it's self but 0 stars for the seller!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsWords are easier to read and understand for younger crowd.
January 17, 2016
Verified Purchase
I had purchased this game for my 7 year old for Christmas. My family would usually play the original version during get togethers. My daughter would usually be partnered up with an adult because she needed help reading and understanding the majority of the words.
The junior version is great for her. Now she can play on her own against all of us. The concept is exactly the same, but the words are easier to read and understand. It makes playing so much more fun.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat game! Had a blast with friends!
January 6, 2014
Verified Purchase
I came across this game while looking at the list of bestseller board games. We don't have older kids at home, but I still went ahead and bought this instead of the Adults version because we don't stay in America/Europe and I was worried that the Adults version may have things/places/people/words that we won't be able to relate to. I don't know about the Adults version, but boy, we had absolute blast playing this game in a group of 6 adults.

The concept is quite simple. Everybody gets 5 red cards and they must choose a red card which matches with the green card on the table. For example, once we had a green card that said "Expensive" and I chose a red card that said "Superman". Now my job was to convince the judge (each player takes a turn to be a judge) why I think "Superman" is the most "Expensive" thing in the world - LOL. It can get quite imaginative and interesting as everyone tries to convince the judge with their own red cards.
