Hasbro Gaming Taboo Board Game

Taboo has been one of my all-time favorite games. - It's a super simple game to understand. - It's hilarious to see how people act under pressure. I've been in tears laughing while playing this game. People can say the funniest things, especially since the game is designed in a way that makes you speak in strange ways since you're permitted from use certain words. - It's a great party game, as it requires little explanation, and you can easily pick it up and put it down whenever you're tired of playing. - You don't always need to keep score. Taboo is a game that's fun to just play without worrying about score. - Great for families, kids, or friends. PLAYING WITH 2 OR 3 PLAYERS: While Taboo is technically for 4+ players, I've had a lot of fun playing it with 2 and 3 players. With 3 players, you each take turns giving clues while the other two players guess. The person who guesses correctly gets 1 point, and the clue giver also gets one point, so everyone is incentivized to guess correctly. 2 players isn't as fun, since one player can easily prevent the other from scoring, but if you're less worried about score, this game can still be a lot of fun with just 2 people. One person guesses while the other gives clues. The clue giver is the only one who can score, so each player must make an honest effort when guessing.

After 35+ years of playing games of various sorts, this still remains one of our family favorites! Well thought out and loads of fun to play! One of my favorite memories of teen years was playing this with a neighbor's family. They were at our house, and the dad was an attorney. He and my dad teamed up, and each of them literally said ONE WORD to the other one, and the other one would guess the correct word!! I wish I had video taped it, as it was a classic episode of game playing - they were totally in sync and it showed how fabulous this game can be and how fast paced it can move! It was always lots of fun to watch the women play too, because women have the gift of gab so could usually come up with clues for long enough to get a correct answer from even the slowest of brains!

I bought this as our family gift this Christmas. Taboo has always been our very favorite game. We have owned the original one for years. It is a blast to play with our kids and when we have other couples over for game nights. My husband and I are the champs! We had recently noticed that the many of the cards in the original game are a bit outdated now, though. So of course, I was really excited when I found this new updated version. This new game has a ton of new cards. Each card has 2 sets of words on each side. Like the original, it comes with an hour glass style flip timer and a small note pad for score keeping. I really like the fact that the some what annoying buzzer in the original game has now been replaced with a fun purple squeaker that sounds similar to a dog toy. The game is still the same.... you have to get your partner to guess the word with out using any of the other words on the card. A team member from the opposite team watches and squeaks you if you happen to use one of the forbidden words.

I always like games promote communication. Taboo is one of many. Avalon is a better one !!! I am a light to medium strategy gamer, so I rarely touch the "Mass Market Board Games" but I have a weak spot for Taboo and Password because I consider myself is a awesome clue giver ~ ~ ~ Components: - Very high quality squeaker, people here are complaining about they switch from the electronic buzzer to a squeaker, come on, simple is better, and no batter is needed. - Sand timer is good and the die is heavy for its size and very good quality. - I like it how they are 4 words per card now, so you get 162 cards in the game which means you are getting 648 words per game. This increase the replayability of the game ~ Game play: - House rule. I bought this game with the intention to play with international students, and regular Taboo is already hard for most native English speakers, therefore to house rule it, you can play it backward, all you can say is the 5 words listed below the word you are trying to get people to guess. Try it and see what happened ~ Full Disclosure: - One other thing makes me like this game is I bought it for $6.99 + tax here on Amazon with FREE Shipping !!! What a Deal ~

I love to play this game with friends, family, and my high school students. I love the fact that this game forces you to think on your feet as well as explain something to another person in a roundabout way. It's always great fun. I would recommend not playing this game with young children due to the difficulty level. I don't like the new "buzzer," as before it was a battery operated buzzer that made this great, loud, obnoxious sound when your opponent said a forbidden word. This one is battery free, which is nice, but it sounds more like an annoying dog toy.

Muy buena calidad

Why I chose this game: -I bought this game because I had played it a few times and was VERY good at it. I wanted something I could challenge my friends to, and then blow them out of the water. -I also bought this game to play with my father when he visits. We don't have a lot in common, so it's often difficult to find things for us to do together for "quality time". Board games are usually a universal way to bring people together. PROS: -You'll definitely get some laughs with this game. -It's easy to play, and those who have never played can learn the game rules and be playing in probably under 3 minutes. -It's a game I would play with my parent, so that should tell you that it's not too risque of a game despite its name. CONS: -I did notice the timer thing is a bit funny, like other reviewers have said. I didn't mind this though, as I like to use the timer on my phone anyway as it is easier to control. Ultimately, I would recommend this game to any of my friends with glowing reviews.

This continues to be an excellent family game!

Es el juego original, trae todas las piezas mencionadas

Genial. Un buen precio para un juego de "los de siempre". Hace algún tiempo le habrán pegado un lavado de cara a la caja y viene más compacta. Por lo demás, los mismos accesorios y contenido en cartas. Es un juego bastante divertido que te asegura piques y risas con la familia o los amigos. Hay algunos como el Times up un poco más complejos en cuanto a que tiene más retos. Para el que no lo conozca, el tabú, consiste en ir avanzando por el tablero mientras vas consiguiendo puntos con tu equipo, adivinando el mayor número de palabras posibles mediante sinónimos o frases relacionadas a la que indica la carta, sin mencionar ninguna de las otras palabras tabú. Todo esto dentro de un límite de tiempo que cada equipo tendrá por ronda. Muy recomendado para fechas como cumpleaños, y fiestas con amigos o familia, como navidades,... Nosotros ya lo teníamos y debido al paso del tiempo la caja y algún accesorio, como el "pito" para anunciar el fin del tiempo, se han estropeado o perdido. Muy buena compra.

Nous avions l'habitude de jouer à ce jeu en Angleterre. C'était super de l'initier à nos ados. La minuterie d'une minute était un peu trop rapide pour nous. Nous avons passé plus de temps à déplacer tous les objets qu'à jouer au jeu, nous avons donc mis 90 secondes sur la minuterie de nos téléphones, ce qui était bien mieux. Soirée tout à fait agréable.

Fabulous Game for the whole family, all ages. A little expensive but should buy.

I knew Taboo before, so it was not a surprise that it turned out to be a 5 star purchase. The game can be played in teams, or even just with two people without keeping score. Language dependent.
