3 Tips for winning Apples to Apples

Apples to Apples is a fun card game that you can play with a group of people. Basically you get two different apple cards, green apple cards and red apple cards.
Red Apples say nouns like Adam Sandler and the green apple cards say adjectives like funny. Each player has to match the best red card from their hand with the green card that was drawn. And a judge (who is not playing) picks the best card. The first to a certain number wins.

Ok so now that you know the game how do you win? Here are a few tips for winning at this game.

1. Know Thy Judge

The better you know the person who is going to pick the best card the better. Everyone has their own little bias. If you want to win you need to play off their bias. So if the adjective is comedian you want to remember what their favorite comedian is, if you have it in your hand put it down.

You might even put something down that has nothing to do with it if you think they will pick it. So if the adjective is stupid and they do not agree with the Vietnam War you might want to put that card down.

2. Don't Have a Card

If you don't have a card that will match the adjective you might want to put down something you know will not be able to use. You might as well just get rid of a card that you don't know. And if you are discarding a name that you don't know you might just win it anyway, you don't know.

3. Don't Get Frustrated

At least for me I know that I can get frustrated with the person who is acting as the judge. It seems that because everyone has different bias you may not always agree with what the judge picked. Just let it go, the game is supposed to be fun.
