Apples to Apples Bible Edition
Players go around and play red "noun" cards they feel the current judge will find the most entertaining to match with the the green "adjective" card they placed down. The players place their choices face down, so the judge won't know who played what card. The person who laid down the card the judge picks, wins the judge card. The players take turns being the judge. The game is recommended for three or more players, ages 12 and up.
Bible Tribond Game
