1. Everything you need to know before you buy! Verified Buyer – 22 July 2024

   I’m writing a review of this edition of Taboo, not the game in general, which is great! There are a few issues with this edition of Taboo, which likely have been covered thoroughly in other reviews, so I’ll just go over them briefly. – The squeaker: it doesn’t have the same impact of the traditional buzzer and isn’t as fun to use. Also, dogs will seriously think it’s a toy for them as it sounds exactly like a dog squeaky toy. – No card holder: In a game in which you flip through cards under a time limit, it was nice to have the old holder so you can easily flip through cards. Now you just hold a loose stack of cards and place the used ones on the table or floor – just a bit messy and disorganized. I tried getting a holder from one of the old games, but these cards are a tiny bit too big to fit, so it doesn’t work. – Text size: Compared to the old cards (see picture for comparison), these ones have smaller text, and a different word on top and bottom of each side of the card (so total of 4 words). This makes the text of the “taboo” words just a bit on the small side, so if you’re watching to make sure your opponent isn’t saying the words, you may have to lean in a little to read them. Of course there are twice as many words for a given amount of cards, but I liked the simplicity of having one word per card side. Great, fun game to play with friends but I would look for an older edition for a better playing experience. You might just have to explain a few words like Y2K to some of your younger friends.

   I love to play this game with friends, family, and my high school students. I love the fact that this game forces you to think on your feet as well as explain something to another person in a roundabout way. It’s always great fun. I would recommend not playing this game with young children due to the difficulty level.

   I don’t like the new “buzzer,” as before it was a battery operated buzzer that made this great, loud, obnoxious sound when your opponent said a forbidden word. This one is battery free, which is nice, but it sounds more like an annoying dog toy.

   I bought this as an addition to our monthly game night. It brings out the competitive side to everyone. The clicker is a little different from other versions of taboo. My older game has a button for the beep, whereas this one comes with a rubber noise maker you squeeze. Still does the trick but maybe that could be a turn off to some. It comes with plenty of cards with words on both sides and a choice of 4 different lists. The die is something to mention as it’s different from normal taboo. There’s I believe 8 different sides to the die and each side of the die means a different thing. From play the normal way to each team can participate. It’s a good game to test your brain power and fast thinking skills. It’s also kid friendly which is a plus.

   I bought this as our family gift this Christmas. Taboo has always been our very favorite game. We have owned the original one for years. It is a blast to play with our kids and when we have other couples over for game nights. My husband and I are the champs! We had recently noticed that the many of the cards in the original game are a bit outdated now, though. So of course, I was really excited when I found this new updated version. This new game has a ton of new cards. Each card has 2 sets of words on each side. Like the original, it comes with an hour glass style flip timer and a small note pad for score keeping. I really like the fact that the some what annoying buzzer in the original game has now been replaced with a fun purple squeaker that sounds similar to a dog toy. The game is still the same…. you have to get your partner to guess the word with out using any of the other words on the card. A team member from the opposite team watches and squeaks you if you happen to use one of the forbidden words.
