If you are Jewish, and like the game "Apples to Apples," you're going to love "Apples to Apples, Jewish Version"! I received an advance copy, and tried it out with my friends and family. Then, I played it with Jewish coworkers. Then, I could't stop playing it at every social gathering I went to! This game is a blast! I've been recommending it to my family and friends. Then I thought, hey, why not tell the world about it?

So, I'm telling you, this is great fun! Apples to Apples is a very fun party game, and here's how it's played:

The objective of the game is to make comparisons ala apples to apples that are accepted by the player who is the "judge" Each player gets a turn as
judge.
There are 2 type of cards that are used in the game:
Red Cards each featuring the name of a person, place, thing, or event.
Green Cards each featuring a characteristic of a person, place, thing, or event

Each player receives 7 red cards.

The judge turns over one of the green cards and the players have to select from their hands the red card they feel best matches/fits the particular
green card. The judge collects the cards and decides which one makes the best match. The "winner" is the player who has the most submissions chosen by the judge.

A lot of the fun with the game comes from the subjectivity involved in doing the judging and how good the players are at knowing the judge and being able
to read their personal characteristics and the way they think and arrive at decisions. You can probably recognize how this kind of game can lead to a
lot of discussion,laughs and debates about the "correctness" of the judge's choice. In a way, the winning of the game is almost secondary to that
aspect. (Whenever I've played it with my family, it's been that way!)

Here's an example of how this all works with the Jewish Version:
