What is Taboo
In the party game Taboo, you're trying to give clues to your teammates so that they'll guess a particular word, but you can't say just anything you like. Some clues are off limits!
When you're the active player, hold the deck of cards so that you and the opposing team can see the top card. At the top of the card is the word your teammate must say to score the card, and you can anything you want to help them figure out what to guess other than the word itself (duh!) or the five words/phrases listed on the bottom of the card.
For example, can you get your teammates to say "bacon" without saying "pig", "eggs", "breakfast", "sausage", or "eat"? If you do, you score the card, then move on to the next card, trying to guess as many cards as possible before time runs out. However, if you say a taboo word (or make gestures), the opposing team will buzz a buzzer and score the card themselves.
How well can you describe things without breaking the taboo?

En su momento, fue un juegazo, ahora hay otros juegos mejores

Uno de mis preferidos en lo que a partygames se refiere. Muchas risas cuando la gente hace tabú.
De los partys tradicionales el más divertido.
Edición en Castellano.
Muy divertido. En tu turno tienes la tensión de tratar de no equivocarte y cuando le toca al siguiente equipo, tienes la tensión de que no se te escape ninguno de sus errores.
Can't say this is a full bad one. On the contrary, one of the good parties I've played Me personally I don't like it as much as Tic Tac Boum but if everyone loves it why not me? If it works, then works. Nothing more to say For crowded groups, laughs are granted by far
