1. Ten players join the game.
2. A player will be randomly chosen as the first judge.
3. Seven Red Apple cards will be dealt and PMed to each player by the Moderator.
1. The Moderator will post a randomly-selected Green Apple card.
2. Players (except the judge) have 48 hours to choose the Red Apple card from their hand that is best described by the word on the Green Apple card posted. Players will PM their card to the Moderator.
3. After all players have PMed their card choice, the Moderator will post the cards in a random order. The judge has 48 hours to select 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 wins the round.
4. New cards are dealt to replace used cards.
5. The role of judge moves down the list and play continues following steps 1-4 until someone has won 4 Green Apple cards to win the game!
1. It's OK to play a red apple card that isn't a perfect fit. Judges will often pick the most creative, humorous or interesting response.
2. 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.
3. Playing red apple cards that appeal to the judge can improve your chances of winning. This is often called "playing to the judge."
4. 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.
Each Green Apple card will have four words, one bolded and three italicized (ex:
Absurd
(
ridiculous, senseless, foolish
). The bolded word is the word your Red Apple card should match. The italicized words are synonyms to help in deciding.
Each Red Apple card will have a bolded name, person or thing along with witty text to describe the word or phrase. When PMing the card, only the bolded part is needed; the italicized part will be included in the game, though.
1. Players will have 48 hours from the posting of the Green Apple card to PM their Red Apple card choice. A player failing to choose a card will not have a card played in the round.
2. The judge will have 48 hours from the posting of the Red Apple cards to choose their favorite card. If a judge fails to choose a card, Red Apple cards will be returned to the players and the judge will lose a Green Apple card they have won. If the judge has not won a Green Apple card, they will not be allowed to play for 3 rounds.
3. As the Playing Tips suggest, table talk is encouraged. Try to get the judge to choose your card!
1. All moves should be
bolded
and the first line of the player's post. If players wish to table talk, it is invited at all times by all players. If performing table talk during a move, please place it after your move.
2. Feel free to ask questions. Either PM me or precede the questions with "
Mod
".
3.

5. If you see an error, please point it out as soon as possible.
