Apples to Apples is a great game, that I play with a wide variety of people. It gets played a lot and Ive picked up the expansions as they have become available. I wanted to like this expansion (#4), but its a disappointment. I just got finished removing about half of this expansion from my set.

Expansion #4 is the Pairs edition. All the cards have a pair of words: like Ice & snow or cat & mouse. About half of the expansion had pairs that worked for me: whips & chains, Calvin & Hobbs, and Beavis & Butt-Head. They must have just run out of ideas for the rest Pail & Shovel, Phone & Fax, and Lock & Key. And then there are the duplicates. Ive already got Apples and Oranges do I need Apples & Oranges and Lemon & Lime. Ive got Batman do I need Batman & Robin. Ive got Fred Flintstone do I need Fred & Wilma and Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm. And my favorite duplicate Rock and Roll and Rock & Roll
