Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: It sounds so simple: get your team to name common words without voicing a few choice descriptors. But could you describe a wristwatch without mentioning time, wrist, or clock? Taboo rewards those who think--and speak--fast. The team that correctly identifies as many words as possible in a minute (measured with an hourglass timer) wins. If a member of the opposing team, armed with the blaring buzzer, catches the clue giver using any of the taboo words, a point is deducted from the group's score. It's a good idea to separate people who know each other well, because their familiarity can be too great an advantage. If the clue is spinach, prompting with "Mom made this every Monday" just doesn't seem fair, though it is permissible according to the rules. Playing Taboo requires an AA battery and a sense of humor--you'll need them both! The timer is included. Taboo is for four or more players. --Leah Ball

Fun at School
I am a teacher and I play this game with my writing lab classes before vacations. At first they complain but then they end up having a lot of fun. It helps them think of new ways to describe words without relying on obvious descriptions. They don't realize they're learning while they play. It only really works for smaller classes (8 to 10 students)

Delightful!
This is for adults and teens. Fabulous fun. A workout for the brain that always leaves us laughing. Delightful source of entertainment for friends and family. Makes good memories as we laugh and retell certain moments again and again.

Watch what you say!
I played this game with a group from work and had to buy it for home. It's easy enough for children to play, but requires some thought so you don't say the "Taboo" words. Thinking up alternate ways to describe common items and famous people is great fun!

Fun way to get together with family or friends
I love this game. It's simple, yet very smart, makes you work your brains a little, but not to the point of being tiring. It's pretty portable, so you can carry it along to picnics, trips, visits to friends, etc.

Lots of Laughs
We bought Taboo for our regular game night with friends. It is a nice change from the typical board or card game and is played in teams. The rules are simple but the game is challenging and lots of fun. We were so focused on the game that we often forgot to check the turn timer. This game would be suitable for adults and children ages 7 and up.
