Apples to Apples Goes Digital

Our family loves to play the game Apples to Apples.  We have both the Apples to Apples Jr. and the original in our home.  We were first introduced to this game at a family game night when the 2 older kids were in elementary school.

Now the news has hit that Mattel’s Apples to Apples game is going to get connected with digital, social and mobile play this winter!!

This holiday season, Apples to Apples™ will delight players and bring families together using PlayStation Network for PlayStation®3 and Xbox LIVE® Arcade for Xbox 360®, just before expanding onto Facebook and mobile devices. The digital versions of Apples to Apples™ will feature social gaming connectivity capabilities, allowing family and friends to share or play anytime, anywhere – in the same room or on opposite sides of the world!

I’m not sure which will be more addictive but I’m pretty sure I will be playing A LOT of Apples to Apples on Facebook!
