Apples to apples is fun, but the creativity is limited, and lots of the cards are boring. Everyone suggests a Cambridge variant, which would be nice, but it'd be good to address the other problem at the same time. Ideas:

* Basically, you'd want to be able to play two cards at once, bound together somehow.
* Either you'd have noun cards and modifier cards, or you'd try to ensure every card could be used either way.
* You might be able to make these double as the green cards as well, I'm not sure.
* Or maybe every player plays one card and the judge chooses the best combination. But I don't think it could easily work.

Possible themes:

* Cambridge places and colleges
* Relative people ("player on my left's", "my last housemate", etc)
* Objects, animals, etc.
* Cambridge societies, houses
* Famous non-actors, eg. scientists, messaien, fictional characters, etc.
* Gerunds
* Stages of life (exam, first job, last foo interview)
* Amounts of things (£100, 200lb, etc.) just because
* Americans lots of people think are stupid, nethack references and fetish items because they are by far the most popular cards :)
* Food
* Adjectives: colours, temperatures, textures
