Although I’m not a fan of social games, this one encourages players to creatively communicate. The basics is this: You have a word you need to get someone else to say, but you cannot use the 5 words underneath it to describe it. Because everyone thinks of things differently, it’s one that you can play over and over again. Caution though, couples who have been married a long time will have an advantage, so don’t let ‘em be on the same team

I own the game and it is at the top of my list of requested games when guests visit. Everyone enjoys playing taboo and the buzzer that is pressed when the person says the taboo word makes it all the more exciting and interesting. I recommend this for teenagers to adults, not necessarily for little children as they can possibly find it too challenging to enjoy.

This is a great 4-person game, in which one person is giving clues, another from the opposite team is watching over his or her shoulder to ensure the clue-giver is not using any of the “taboo” words, his or her partner is guessing, and the other opponent is the time-keeper.
More than four people play in teams, and it’s fun to both guess and provide clues, and challenging enough to keep you on your toes and laughing.
My advice for having the most fun and gaining the competitive edge is to personalize your clues. If you use a taboo word and get “buzzed,” it’s distracting, so it’s better to just scan them quickly, so you know what they are, and then use shared experiences and/or preferences. For “spaghetti,” when you can’t say Italian, pasta, sauce, noodle, meatballs, etc. you mention what your partner had for lunch at Olive Garden, or if you’ve ever gone to a Revolve Tour or read Chad Eastham: what girls are, if guys are waffles Guys Are Waffles, Girls Are Spaghetti.

This game is the best! It really makes you think fast. I’ve been wanting to buy it forever and I’m glad I did. You end up learning new things about the people you’re playing with and the things people say when they are under pressure are hilarious!
