Hasbro Gaming Taboo Game

Had a brilliant afternoon playing this game today. I was looking for something I could engage my 13 and 15yr olds with and get them off the internet for a few hours, so we played, two teams of two, and it got very heated but was so much fun!Two sets of cards with four words/terms to be guessed on each, and a list of associated words that are taboo.With the egg timer running one team member has to describe the guess word to his other team member, without accidentally mentioning one of the taboo words, no gesturing, no "sounds like" no mentioning part of the word. If you succeed and the egg timer is still going, grab another card and continue. Then the other team takes their turn.We got through one whole set of guess words, which means potentially there's only likely to be 3 more games playable before the set becomes redundant but for the price paid and the amount of fun we had, I think it was well worth it!

We discovered this board game when we watched the film Four Christmases. It looked like so much fun and IT IS. Great family game or when you get a bunch of friends around. Top score!

I enjoyed playing Taboo years ago so I bought this game for Christmas. The whole family enjoyed it!

We had a blast playing this with friends. The individual rounds go quite quickly as you are only playing in two teams, but it's so addictive and you did quite easily continue all night.This was obviously an American product so some of the words and phrases were quite easy to guess. E.g. Dummy - baby and suck weren't taboo and Graduation - University and degree weren't taboo.Aside from this it's an excellent addition to our games night cupboard.

Purchased for Xmas

Brilliant game, great fun for all ages over around 8. For the children we allow them to use one of the 'taboo' words - works really well.

So much fun playing it, love it!

I usually play this game with adults and have a blast with it! But to my surprise, I also played this with children above the age of 10 and they were so good at playing this game. This is a great game to help younger children learn different synonyms they can use for some words. But overall, the best game ever, you will find it very hard to stay quiet.
