LETS TABOO!

Moderator Buzzer, Hour glass Timer, Little box for deck of cards, few hundred cards are the things you can find in the “Taboo box”. Taboo is a game of words and the word has to be explained on one side of the card and other people have to guess it. It is published by Hasbro in the year 1989. This game can be played online or in real-life. The website to play online is ‘OnlineTaboo.net’.

This game consists of two teams and there should be at least two players per team. Game begins with one member of a team picking a random card from the deck by taking a card from the deck. Each card has a word that should be guessed correctly to score a point. The player says words other than those listed to the team mates to have them guess the first word.
Each card contains four banned words which cannot be used to give clues. If you accidentally say the banned words the taboo button will buzz and this will make you lose one mark. Also, the player has to take another card . A team can shout as many guesses, relevant or irrelevant, as they want with no penalties. Once the team identifies the correct word and there are still remaining cards, you are allowed to take another card and continue explaining. This goes on and until the timer stops. A team tries to score on as many cards as possible in the allotted time. If you have no Idea how to explain your Card just , you can just take another card. Each Round has three rounds which skips the Current Card. When the time is up, next team plays. Each player takes turns at leading their team and of course the team with maximum points wins the game.
