   Love this game. When you play Taboo, you must choose your words carefully, an exercise that develops verbal and thinking skills. Being disciplined in thought and strategic in speech is a lost art in our “culture,” so the game may not have mass appeal. Nonetheless, as a self-described word nerd, it is my favorite game.

   That being said, I ordered the item believing it to be “new.” Perhaps I missed a disclaimer in the information. The box contained all the pieces as far as I can tell, and the various components of the game (“hour glass” timer with sand, buzzer for indicating when time is up, playing cards, score pad) were intact. But the box exterior and interior packaging were pretty beat up. In fact, traces of previous players’ scores were visible, indented on the score pad. It doesn’t affect the ability to use and enjoy the game. I was just a little disappointed that the packaging wasn’t bright and shiny.

   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.

   This is a perfect game for adults. So much fun and not as easy as you think. We have game night every month that we can’t wait for!

   Game is good. I have played Taboo with friends in the past and I have always liked it. Finally decided to purchase a set on my own. As I saw it from other friends in the past, the game set was no surprise to me. The only complaint is that the plastic box that is used to hold the cards seems a bit crappy and fragile; I hope I won’t break it any time soon.

   I gotta give compliment to the shipping service. I ordered it 4 days before Christmas, and it wasn’t a Christmas gift so I was okay with receiving it anytime. But the sender tried to ship it to me in time for Christmas and used a faster shipping method without charging me. That was very thoughtful! And it just so happened that it was shipped to my building on the day when the building was closed. I didn’t get any notification from the carrier (UPS probably), but the sender emailed me to inform me and advised me to check how to get it re-delivered. The sender was very helpful throughout the process. Much appreciate it!

   Picked up the classic game to have for game nights. Went with the classic over the new edition as people really seemed to be bothered by not having the card holder. One reviewer mentioned he was able to add in new cards because he had the old holder so I felt there was some merit to that.

   This is such an entertaining game for the young (teens) and young at heart (everyone over teen years who likes to have a good time). I was introduced to it by my son and his fiance and was instantly taken by its simplicity and immense fun value. If you need a game for your next party, this is the one for you. It provides hours of laughter, fun, and good times in general. Don’t be surprised if you and the other players have to take time out to recover from the hysterics you’ll have as you watch each other play. Buy it and you won’t be sorry!

   There was six of us at my home for the weekend, old friends gathering together for a small heartfelt weekend. Taboo has us laughing so much, it was insane! Especially when I thought I could do this game easy, surely better than my friends were demonstrating and as I awaited my turn, I was confident. Then to my surprise, Taboo had me and I was shocked! Whaaaat?!?! Wait a minute, how did that word just pop out of my mouth??? Then the laughter roars and we are having the best time ever. Friendship, laughter, Taboo game… the best.

   Get it, This edition is perfect.

   Taboo is a classic party game that is fun for a group of friends. It is easy to learn and the rules are simple.

   Taboo works well for both groups that know each other well or don’t know each other well as an early ice breaker. Setup is minimal and can be fun for everyone involved with very little “down time” for people to get bored.

   I highly recommend getting Taboo for your home as it can be easily pulled out and played for any short or long period of time as a time filler.
