Advantages: fuuny, brain stretching, allows for many players.

Disadvantages: you may be ridiculed by your friends.....

Two teams, lots of bits of paper and a sqeaky noise maker to honk when time runs out.... the recepie for mayhem!

All you have to do is comunicate a word or phrase to your team without mentioning certain "taboo words" given on your card. It isn't as easy as it sounds. The better you know the people yu are playing with, the funnier it gets.

I recall one foolish chap began his round by saying "I don't have one of these...." Life? Girlfriend? Future? The cruelty this game encourages can be very entertaining.

It stretches your brain and your vocabulary, making it a great game to play with children - I would guess about 8 and up would be right. You can have any number of players, guess any number of teams, but yu do need at least two peoplemin a team. If you try and play it whilst drunk, its even more funny.

You never have to suffer your way through tedious Christmases once you have this little gem to hand.
