Instead of the cards, the person acting as the judge rolls a green 20 sided die with letters on it, and makes up an adjective that starts with the rolled letter. Then, red six sided dice with different assortments of letters are rolled, one for each player (except the judge). Those players then grab a die and make up their noun based on that die roll. The rest of the rules play as normal Apples to Apples. The judge picks his or her favorite of the choices, and the position of judge rotates to the next player.
