Fun at School [Posted on 2008-07-27]
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)
Review [Posted on 2008-09-03]
Again, this product was a very, very old and outdated version. The cards differed from the newer version and everything. The product was in great shape, it was just very outdated. I wish there were some way to tell how old a product is so you don't think you're getting a recent version when you are not. Just a suggestion.
THE GREATEST GAME! [Posted on 2008-09-05]
Taboo is the most fun! My only complaint is I wish they'd make new cards and sell them separately.

We have been playing Taboo for years, great for preteen on up. We take it on family vacations. Wait till you see how much fun your friends have when they get to buzz you for saying the Taboo word!! This is kind of a "word" version of charades. Easy to learn fun for hours.
Great game, other recommendations [Posted on 2008-09-25]
The basic idea is to get your team to say a certain word, but without saying certain strategic other words in your clues. For example, you might have to get your teammates to say "kangaroo" without using the words "pouch," "Australia," or "Captain." Be careful, you can't say any part or form of any of the words, such as "AustraliAN," and you can't make hand gestures, either.
Taboo was a classic when it first hit the party scene, right up there with Pictionary. It is a riot! And for years I would have said the best "verbal-charades" type game out there. Now I have to recommend Electronic Catchphrase as an alternative. It's a little different, with no "taboo" words, but otherwise very similar, and the advantage is that it is all contained in a little electronic disc that gives words/phrases and keeps score for you. Electronic Guesstures is another self-contained game that will elicit great fun and laughter from you and your friends. If you don't really like those little electronic gadgets, I'd say Taboo is still the way to go.
