They use the darnest words.


Taboo Card Game. Sounds a bit erotic...only. Posted by Picasa

Taboo is this card game where 2 teams play against each other. A player has to describe a word to let his team-mates say out the word(s) on each card, but he cannot use the taboo words listed on same card.

For example, as taken from here:

Example: How do you get your team to say the word BIRTHDAY... if you can't say the words HAPPY, ANNIVERSARY, CANDLES, PRESENTS or CAKE?

You might say: "Friends and family sing to you once each year," or "You celebrate this event by blowing out a fire on top of a frosted dessert." Or you might hum the well-known tune until your team shouts, "Birthday!"

Very interesting game as it reveals what others think of some specific words.

cherub: guys like to see girls wearing this!
teammateR: bikini, g-strings.....
teammateE: nothing!!
teammateE: yah wad, guys like girls to wear nothing...

[playword: mini-skirts]
(teammateE suggested that i should have said "guys are happy when girls wearing this sit opposite them in MRT")

player: big tits are...?
teammate1: boobs?
player: yes. but longer *player proceeds and give more descriptions*
teammate1: booby trap!!

  5. The game was on offer at Taka Square for S$29.90 recently. I'm not sure if the offer is still on.

    And yes Ced, most of your re-enactments are pretty accurate. =) Hopefully we can find some occasion to play again.
