4-8 Players

TO GO

®

        Starting the Game

1. Remove the red apple cards and the green apple cards from
the box. Set the box aside.

2. Choose a player to be the rst judge.

3. The judge deals seven red apple cards, face

down, to each player (including him or
herself). Players may look at their cards.

Hold the cards in your

hand like this so you can

see the card titles.

The Game of Hilarious Comparisons!

Apples to Apples® To Go is the wild card and party game that

provides instant fun-on-the-run for four to eight players!

Quick, easy and portable, it’s as simple as comparing “apples to
apples.” Just open the convenient travel box, deal the cards, and
you’re ready to play! Select the card from your hand that you
think is best described by a card played by the judge. If the judge
picks your card, you win that round. And everyone gets a chance
to be the judge!

Each round is filled with surprising and outrageous comparisons
from a wide range of people, places, things and events.

        What’s in the Box

• Red Apple Cards – 270 cards, each featuring the name of a
person, place, thing or event.

• Green Apple Cards –

of a person, place, thing or event.

• Quick Play Rules

90 cards, each featuring a characteristic

        Playing the Game

1. The judge picks a green apple card from the top of the stack,
reads the word aloud, and places it face up on the table.

2. Players (except the judge) quickly choose the red apple card
from their hand that is best described by the word on the
green apple card played by the judge. Players place these red
apple cards face down on the table.

Quick Pick Option:

With ve or more players, you might want to try the Quick Pick

Option. The last red apple card placed on the table will not be
judged and is returned to that player’s hand. If you snooze, you lose!

3. The judge mixes the red apple cards so no one knows who
played which card. The judge turns over each red apple card,
reads it aloud, and then selects the one he or she thinks is best
described by the word on the green apple card. The player of
the selected red apple card is awarded the green apple card
played by the judge.

4. To keep score, players keep the green apple cards they have
won, on the table, until the end of the game.

5. The judge collects all of the red apple cards played during that
round and discards them into an empty well in the box bottom.

6.

The card decks, and the role of judge, pass to the player on the

left. The new judge deals enough red apple cards to bring each
player’s hand back up to seven.

7. Play continues following steps 1-6 until someone has earned
enough green apple cards to win the game!

        Setting Up

1. Open the red apple card packs and thoroughly mix all the red
apple cards. Evenly distribute them between the two side-by­side wells in the box bottom.

2. Open the green apple card pack and thoroughly mix the
green apple cards. Place them in the single well next to the red
apple cards.

        Want to Play Again?

Discard all the red and green apple cards used in the game,
shufe them and return them to the bottom of the red and
green card stacks. The next judge starts with a fresh set of
cards and deals seven new red apple cards to each player.
You’re ready to play!

The card combinations in Apples to Apples® To Go are virtually
limitless.

      Playing Tips

• It’s OK to play a red apple card that isn’t a perfect t.
Judges will often pick the most creative, humorous or
interesting response.

• Lobbying and “table talk” are encouraged! Players can
comment on cards and try to convince the judge to pick
a particular card – either their own or a favorite choice.

• Playing red apple cards that appeal to the judge can
improve your chances of winning. This is often called
“playing to the judge.”

• Red apple cards that begin with “My” should be read
from the judge’s point of view. For example, when the
judge reads “My Love Life,” it should be assumed that
it is the judge’s love life that is being described by the
word on the green apple card.

    Apples to Apples® Variations

After you’ve played the basic game, try these variations —

Scrambled Apples

For even more hilarity, combine the cards from your TO GO box
with cards from the APPLES TO APPLES® PARTY BOX and PARTY
BOX EXPANSION ONE. Because none of these sets contain

duplicate cards, mixing them together will allow you to generate

thousands of outrageous new comparisons!

Crab Apples

For a tart twist, choose and judge red apple cards that are the

least like, or the opposite of, the word on the green apple card. For
example, you might choose “Gas Station Restrooms” when the
green card “Classy” is played.

Bottom of the Barrel

For a clever way to wind down a game, players must play out the
seven cards in their hands, without redrawing. As players deplete

the red apple cards from their hands, the choices become more and

more challenging!

Apple Potpourri

For an unpredictable mix, each player selects a red apple card

from his or her hand before the judge turns over the green apple
card. After the red apple cards are played, the judge turns over a
green apple card. As usual, the judge then selects the winning red

apple card!

2 for 1 Apples

For a real deal, the judge turns over two green apple cards to start

the round. Each player selects the red apple card from his or her

hand that is best described by both green apple cards. After the

judge selects a red apple card, both of the green apple cards are

awarded to the winner.

Quick Pick for Four

With a group of four, players may play one or two red apple cards

from their hands. Players attempting to play two cards must place

them on the table, one card at a time. Only the first four red apple
cards placed on the table will be judged.
