History TabletopGame / ApplesToApples

* HouseRules: Some players leave the aforementioned blank cards blank and allow players to come up with whatever they want.
** Another is to throw in a random card from the draw pile into the pile of cards for judging. The draw pile is amazingly capable of winning.
** Or putting in the red cards before anyone knows what the green card is.
** Inverting the roles of the cards, so adjectives describe a noun, is very popular.
** Put in a pair of red cards, and the judge describes how they think the pair relates to the green card.
** The game gives a list of how many green cards a player should gain to win the game based on how many people are playing, but very few people actually use that limit and just play until everybody agrees to stop.

* GameMod: Blank red and green cards are provided for players on which to write personal ideas.
** Blanks got popular enough that there's an official variant game where ''all'' green apples are blank so you can write new answers every time. The box has as an example "Name something you would not want to bite" with one answer being "The dust."

** Hell, the game even gives a list of how many green cards a player should gain to win the game based on how many people are playing. Very few people actually use that limit and just play until everybody agrees to stop.

* GenreSavvy: The players, one should hope!
