Apples to Apples Dice Game Rules
Let me give you the lowdown on the Apples to Apples dice game. It’s a blast, and I’m here to guide you through the rules.
You and your pals start with some adjective cards. These cards describe things like “funny,” “delicious,” or “crazy.” Then, the turn begins. You become the judge for that round, and it’s your job to pick a noun that matches the adjective on the dice you roll.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. How in the world do I pick a noun that matches an adjective on a dice? Well, that’s where your creativity comes in! You’ll need to use your imagination to come up with a noun that fits the adjective in a clever or funny way.
Once you’ve chosen your noun, everyone else will secretly submit an adjective card from their hand that they think best matches your noun. Keep in mind, you want to pick the card that you think will impress the judge (that’s you!).
Now it’s time for the big reveal. Each player will place their adjective card face down, and then you’ll mix them up. Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle. Then, flip them over and read them out loud.
After hearing all the adjective cards, it’s up to you, the judge, to decide which one is the best match. You can base your decision on what makes you laugh the most, what surprises you, or even what you think is the most clever.
The player who submitted the chosen adjective card wins the round and gets to keep the dice. The dice are your reward for being the best matchmaker of the round.
Oh, and did I mention that there’s a twist? If nobody submitted a card that impressed you, you can always choose the “none of the above” card. It’s a wildcard that allows you to opt-out and keep the dice for yourself. Tricky, right?
The game continues with each player taking turns as the judge. The goal is to collect as many dice as possible. The player with the most dice at the end of the game is declared the ultimate matchmaker and wins.
So, gather your friends, sharpen your wit, and get ready for an Apples to Apples dice game showdown. Let the hilarity begin!


- I have a game called “Apple Dice” that I think you’ll enjoy.
- It contains 6 red apple dice, 1 green apple die, and 25 green apple chips.
- There are also instructions included to help you understand how to play.
How to Play the Game

- First, pick someone to be the judge.
- The judge rolls the Green Apple Die and comes up with an adjective that starts with the letter it lands on. If the wild apple symbol shows up, the judge can use any letter. Then, the judge shares the adjective with everyone else.
Hint: A word that describes something is called an adjective. For example, “hilarious” or “magical”. If you’re having trouble thinking of adjectives, you can use the list on the back of this sheet. It has adjectives that start with each letter of the alphabet. Just pick one that matches the letter you rolled.

Okay, let me break it down for you. When we play this game, the judge starts by picking an adjective. You know, a word that describes something. Let’s say the judge picks the word “funny.” Then, the judge rolls these special dice called Red Apple Dice. The number of dice the judge rolls is equal to the number of players, except the judge doesn’t roll a dice for themselves.

When we play the Red Apple Dice game, I get so excited. I grab one of the dice and try to think of a noun that starts with the letter on the dice. But here’s the twist – the noun has to match the word the judge says. It’s like a puzzle for my brain!
Not only can I think of my word as soon as I know it, but I can shout it out too. It’s a race to see who can come up with the right word first!
How the Winner is Chosen
The judge decides which noun on the table matches the word they said. If I picked the right noun, I earn a Green Apple Chip. The goal is to collect 5 chips and become the ultimate winner!
Tips for Winning
- Remember, the judge likes creative, funny, and interesting answers. So, don’t be afraid to think outside the box!
Let’s play a fun game called “Table Talk”! Everyone can join in and express their opinions in the comments to convince the judge to choose a specific answer, whether it’s their own or a favorite one. Don’t worry, it’s all part of the game!
Here’s a little tip to boost your chances of winning: try to pick answers that you think the judge will like. This strategy is commonly known as “playing to the judge”. It can really make a difference!
If you’re a younger player, don’t worry! You can still join in on the fun. You can choose any letter on your die, regardless of whether you’re the judge or not. We want everyone to have a great time playing, no matter their age. So, let’s get started and let the games begin!
