What's in the box

  • 212 cards carrying 848 Guess words in total
  • Fresh card content drawn from pop culture and trends
  • Includes a sand timer, squeaker, and scorepad
  • Optional web-based timer, buzzer, and scorepad for play on the go

How it plays

Flip the sand timer and start describing the Guess word on your card while steering around the Taboo words listed with it. Try getting teammates to say Fame without Celebrity, Superstar, Musical, Known, or Fortune. Let a forbidden word slip and the squeaker goes off, costing you the point. Get through as many cards as you can before the sand runs out.

It needs at least four players split into teams and is aimed at ages 13 and up. For a night out, bring only the card box and a phone — the web-based timer, buzzer, and scorepad cover the rest.
