yendi108Some Our daughter has been hooked on this for years. Some of the references go over her head, but in a crowd with adults and kids, it's a good learning opportunity (and there's lots of amusement value to be had from submitting something like "Casablanca" in response to certain themes.
Dr. Mobius98Yes Fun party game that just about anyone can enjoy. This one's been a winner wherever I've taken it.
Elden98Yes The key here is to make sure that the kids know the words that they'll have to play with. If that is covered, the game works great!
fsumarc98Yes Younger ones dont always get some of the pop culture references in this edition. Junior is often better for the ones under 8. This is a great game for any size group of mixed ages.
Mark99Yes  
mawiker98Yes  
pikkusiili200098Yes Need good reading ability. Some of the funniest games are where kids don't understand the references.
runehardt97Yes Apples to Apples is a wonderful game. I have not played the junior versions yet and I can only assume they would be better for the younger kids. I often play A2A with kids from 8 and up and I find they feel a little awkward playing with a bunch of adults. Some of the words are hard for the younger kids to truely grasp an acurate meaning of.
Shade_Jon98Yes A game of matching nouns to adjectives, which usually results in some funny comparisons. A lot depends on the energy of your group of kids. However, up to 10 can play at once, and people can join or leave at any time, making it a uniquely useful game for many occasions. Kids and teens can play this for hours and hours and never get bored. They love to collect the green apples and then declare that which apples you collect reflect your personality somehow. Some of the cards are culture specific and therefore kids will not know them. They can take time to learn them, but mostly they just thrown them back in the box and take new ones.
dturnerfish88Yes Fantastic party game! Great filler or part game with the family.
lankyengineer88Yes  
wkusau88Yes My first game was with about 8 kids from ages 7-12 at the World Boardgaming Championships about 10 pm. I was walking by and they asked if I wanted to play. Very nice kids. BTW, a parent was watching from a few tables away. I had a great time explaining to them what some of the cards meant and who people were. They had a great time just playing. This is not for the ultra competitive player.
dannywebb78Yes Great game for adults and a decent one for kids. To truly enjoy the game, a kid's reading level should be at about third grade or above, but this still won't deal with the subtleties of connotation and the presence of unknown personalities. The junior version is clearly the better choice for the kid crowd.

shawndumas78Yes Pre-teens and teens will have no trouble and are likely to enjoy. No half naked women, gore, cursing, or morbidity.
The Unbeliever79Yes Kids need a good vocabulary in order to do well.
laraberrycross69Some Teaches vocabulary, but gameplay can get repetitive.
