As its name implies, this is a version of Apples to Apples designed for kids, although the basic game still works well with adults, too. Has card optimized for middle-school aged children (9+). Also good for advanced grade-school aged children.
Compared to the original game, this edition features simplified words that even young children can understand and has no "suggestive" words that adults would be uncomfortable explaining to the kids.
Out of the Box changed the name of this game in 2007 from Apples to Apples Junior 9+ to simply Apples to Apples Junior. Somewhat confusing as Apples to Apples Kids was formerly called Apples to Apples Junior!
To add to the confusion, the "...Junior 9+" edition was originally sold in a small (288-card) box. Then it was changed to a big (576-card) box. The big box edition is the one that was later changed to "...Junior".
Part of the Apples to Apples Series.
