<Game Progress>



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.

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 five 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!


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.

To keep score,

players keep the green apple cards

they have won, on the table,

until the end of the game.

The judge collects all of the red apple cards

played during that round

and discards them into the box bottom.

The card tray, 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.

Play continues following steps 1–6

until someone has earned enough

green apple cards to win the game!











<Play Again>



Discard all red and green

apple cards used in the game,

shuffle 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.
