Rotten Apples (card game)

Party and Word Games

Rotten Apples is a card game for two or more players created by No Kidding Pty Ltd, built on the same fill-in-the-blank format as Apples to Apples but aimed at an adult audience rather than families. Each player is dealt ten green cards, and one player serves as judge for the round, a role initially given to whoever has the birthday closest to January 4 and then rotating afterward. The judge draws a brown card bearing a sentence with a word missing, and every other player privately picks a green card from their hand that they think will best, or funniest, complete that sentence, passing their choice face down to the judge. Once all the green cards are collected and shuffled, the judge reads each completed sentence aloud and picks a winner based on whatever amuses them most, logic not required. The winning player keeps that round's brown card and becomes the next judge; play continues until one player has collected a set number of brown cards, typically three, and wins the game.
