Legality update

So the other day I met with an intellectual property lawyer through my entrepreneurship class, and I discussed the legality of Dangerous Apples with her. Although it was pretty brief, I think I was satisfied by the answers. The good news is that the basic idea of Apples to Apples is not copyrightable, meaning that no gameplay changes are required for my version. The bad news is that the branding must be different enough to make it clear that it's not Apples to Apples. So I'd really prefer to get away from both a name involving "Apples" and the red-and-green color scheme. Guess it's time to go digging back into those suggestions I had gotten before.
