Taboo, everyone’s favorite game of forbidden words, has gotten a makeover! Now with a new, sleek look, game changing die and hysterical “Uh-Oh!” buzzer sound, players will frantically try to get their teammates to guess the winning word without using the Taboo words and phrases on their card. How do you get your team to say the word “heart throb” without saying “teenage,” “idol,” “star” or “movies”? With more than 1,000 words for players to try to guess, the “unspeakable” fun can continue for hours.
- Game Objective:
Be the team with the most points at the end of the game.
- Game Play:
Each player helps the team guess a specific word on a card without using the words
that are off limits.
Be careful. Opponents will be listening for the TABOO words that can’t be used in
game play. Each time a team hears a TABOO word they can sound the new “Uh-
Oh!” buzzer, signaling that the opposing team’s turn is up! But if team members
guess the word before the buzzer sounds, a point is won.
And now a new game changing die adds even more excitement to the game, forcing
players to do things like not speak or use their hands on their turn!
- Players: 4 or more
- Ages: 16 years and up
As you all know, our family loves board games, so it is no surprise that this one was an instant hit! I haven’t played Taboo in years (and years), so I don’t remember the “original” very well, but this version is awesome! My husband has taken to using the buzzer around the house – for times when I drop things, or the girls bump into things. Needless to say, it was funny … for a bit.
You can buy this new made-over version of Taboo for $39.59 from Amazon, or look for it at your local retailer. You can so use the simple form below to enter to win one!!

Monoply is my all time favorite.
I’d have to say Sorry because we have family tournaments with this game.
My husband and I love having game night with our friends and family. And I just loved playing Taboo when I was younger.
Settlers of Catan
Candy land or Monopoly is my favorite game!
I LOVE taboo!! My favorite game is Monopoly.
I love Monoply
Scrabble is my favorite board game.
I love Cranium!
My favorite board game is Clue!
I don’t know if I have a favorite, but my husband’s family has a tradition of playing Aggravation together. It’s funny how everyone has their own “role” in the game – his brother just tries to send people back to base, and doesn’t even try to win. His mom forgets the rules every time and tries to do illegal things – and then wins anyway. It’s like a scary microcosm of their family dynamics…. yikes.
Apples to Apples is my favorite. Or monopoly.
We LOVE Apples to Apples!!! Hysterically fun!
I like Monopoly
Scrabble is my favorite.
