Taboo Reviews

This game is certainly a favourite in our house. Every christmas and get together this comes out. What is really good about it is that it is a team and there isn't a maximum number of players, just a minimum of 4 (2 in each team). What you get in the box depends on your edition as they have changed since the game was first ...  Read the complete review

I have spent many happy hours playing this game on family game night and it has to be one of my favourite group games. Taboo is a word guessing party game published by Hasbro in 1989. The object of the game is for a player to have his/her partner(s) guess the word on his/her card without using the word itself or five ...  Read the complete review

Last week we had a takeaway with my in-laws and we got talking about the old days when their children were small and we had no children, we were laughing at how the tables have turned and it is now us who have children and no money or time! One of the things we used to do was play Taboo as it was my favourite game and as my ...  Read the complete review

Everyone has their favourite board games. Whether it be Monopoly, Scrabble or Cluedo, something exists for everyone. Taboo has to be one of the games in my personal top 10 with its simple yet amazingly entertaining nature. I have the newer version so if you are looking at purchasing the older version the description may not match ...  Read the complete review

We've played Taboo a few times over Christmas....which is a bit of a revival as I used to play this years ago with my family and we've just taken it back out of the cupboard and started playing it again. Its a fun group game to play and it can be hillarious watching people get tongue tied and stuttering over defining simple words. Its ...  Read the complete review

I first played Taboo as a child, and recently bought a second hand copy of the game off ebay due to the fond memories I had of hours of fun with family and friends playing it. Taboo is currently available on Amazon for £34.99 but I got it for under £5 on ebay, with the only difference being that the box was a bit scuffed and some of the ...  Read the complete review

I was playing this yesterday with my family and now that it's fresh in my mind I thought I should review it. Taboo is a board game where you play on teams (of at least 2 people per team) and you have to correctly guess what's on your teams card. The cards have 4 different colours on them relating to the difficulty you want to ...  Read the complete review

I think this is one of the best ice breaker games out!! Inside the box you'll find: a board, 2 play pieces, a sand timer, a squeak toy, Taboo cards and instructions. The game is pretty straightforward; on the card you'll find a word which you have to get your team to guess by speaking out (unlike charades which uses actions, you're not ...  Read the complete review

Taboo has to be one of my favourite board games of all time! It is advertised as 'the game of unspeakable fun' - but we found the opposite to be true, we couldn't hear the person playing for all the screaming and laughing! So much for 'unspeakable...'! The basic rules of the game are very easy - each team moves their ...  Read the complete review

Taboo is in concept a really easy game to play but can be fiendishly difficult. It helps to have a good vocabulary and the ability to think on your feet. It can be played by any number of players, within reason, split into as many teams as you want and is a great game to play at family gatherings because even very young children can take ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

At one stage I ached so much I didn't think I could take any more - do you know the feeling? It was hysterical we were all laughing so much. I felt quite red in the face and there were tears in my eyes. To think that just a short while earlier we were all so reserved and on our best behaviour. That all changed, however, once we ...  Read the complete review

There have been many a girls' night in spent playing this game. it is so much more fun than charades, scrabble or monopoly. The object of the game is to guess the word your team mate is trying to describe. The catch is your team mate can not say five particular words associated with it. These are usually the most obvious things and ...  Read the complete review

Do you like word games? Then try "Taboo"! You only have to explain simple words, e.g. "banana". You think that is easy? O.k., without any restriction it is easy, indeed. However, there are these "taboo" - words, which you are not allowed to use for your explanation. Additionally, there is the time limitation ...  Read the complete review

If you are stuck for something to do on a rainy day then this is the game for you. It is relatively simple, easy to play and enjoyable if played in moderation! The game is played in two teams. Individuals take it in turns to describe words to their team within a time limit. The only catch is that for each word that the individual is ...  Read the complete review

This was another game i bought when my daughter was born, who is now 11. To play with friends of mine when they came over. The first time we played this game we had so much fun and it has provided us with many fun filled evenings. To play the game you must have four people but I am sure it would be hysterical to play this ...  Read the complete review
