This is a very good set to go with your Apples to Apples core game (pun intended). When added along with the first expansion it will add many years to the lifespan of the game. This is important because as you play you blow through a lot of cards and it is not quite as much fun when the same cards keep coming up. With the 2 expansions added in, there are enough cards that that problem has pretty much been allievated.

Out of the Box Publishing originally had white circles on the backs of their cards but have switched over to yellow circles. If you have the newer sets then this is a must buy, if not see the previous review.

I love Apples to Apples and gave it a 5 star review (see David but with a differant email). I had purchased the first expansion and was very pleased, but not with this set. Yes, you get great cards with the same good humor but now the cards are marked. Instead of a white circle on the back there is a yellow circle. You can usually tell pretty much which cards not to pick to keep someone from winning. You have been warned.
