Re: Nyarlathotep´s Room
Apples to Apples is a very fun game that's hard to describe. I don't own it, but some people we camp with for my Medieval group the SCA break it out once a year.
It's a card game where, each round, one person deals out a handful of seemingly random cards to everyone but the dealer that are assorted nouns, like "fast sports car", "tropical vacation", "English Professor", "Brad Pitt" and so on.
These are the "Red Apple" cards.
Everyone must keep those cards secret, and the dealer then picks a card from another deck with adjectives, like "spicy", "dangerous", "gut-wrenching", "caveman-like" and so on.
These are the "Green Apple" cards.
Everyone with the noun cards puts a card face down that they think best matches the adjective, either for logical or hilarious reasons, and the dealer, who doesn't know whose cards are whose, decides which best fits.
The winner of the rounds takes that Green Apple card, and becomes the dealer of the next hand. This repeats until all the Green Apple cards are gone, and the one with the most Green Apple cards is the winner.
The fun part is not trying to put forth what you think is the best answer for your Red Apple card, but what the DEALER would think was the best answer.
And, some of the mismatched answers are hilarious. :)
