Taboo is a party word game. Players take turns describing a word or phrase on a drawn card to their partner without using five common additional words or phrases also on the card. The opposing partners watch a timer and use a buzzer to stop the game, buzz the player describing if one of the five off limits words or phrases is used, or the describing player makes any gestures. The describing team gets a point for each card they guess successfully and the opposing team gets a point for each card they pass on, make gestures on, or lose for saying one of the off limits words or phrases. An excellent party game!
From the game box:
Read a group of simple words aloud, like "ASK RUDE ARRIVE HER". Do you "hear" the answer? Try saying them again. Sound familiar? Quick, the timer's tickin'. Did you hear yourself say "A Screwdriver"?!
You and your teammates have 30 seconds to sound out three puzzles. Guess right and snatch that card! Miss it and the other team can steal the point!
O.K., the timer is set, the card flipper is loaded, and everyone's ready for a laugh riot! Just remember, that when it comes to scoring points in MAD GAB...
"It's Not What You SAY, It's What You HEAR!"
This is different than the Trivial Pursuit. It was put out by Disney with Mattel. The game comes in a metal film can, and has cute pawns with mouse ears rather than wedges. The board itself is also shaped as a Mickey head, with ears that fold in to a circle for storage in the round container.
Play is pretty standard trivia mechanics, using 5 categories of:
Animation
Film
Song
Personalities
Mousellaneous.
All questions are Disney-related (unlike Trivial Pursuit that has only 1 or 2 Disney questions per card.)
Includes 400 Adult cards (2000 questions) and 100 Kids' cards (500 questions).
Playtime depends on your knowledge of Disney, if you go to the parks and movies often, you'll get questions right and end the game more quickly.
