taboo

Taboo is an exciting word-guessing game that challenges players to describe a word without using certain related words, known as "taboo" words and encourages creativity and quick thinking.

One player draws a card with a target word at the top and a list of taboo words below it. The player has a limited time (usually one minute) to describe the target word to their teammates without using any of the taboo words listed on the card.

Teammates try to guess the target word based on the description given. If the team guesses correctly, they earn a point. If the player accidentally uses a taboo word or the timer runs out, the turn ends, and no points are awarded. The game continues until all cards are used or a set time limit is reached. The team with the most points wins!
