About the game
What you do in a play session
Alright, board game crew! Get ready for a supercharged version of the classic Taboo, because The Big Taboo is here to liven up your parties! This game is like an explosive combo that mixes traditional Taboo with elements from Taboo Body Talk and Taboo Quick Draw, ensuring the fun never gets stale. The main idea remains the same one we already love: get your team to guess the secret word without using the forbidden terms. But here, things get more interesting, with four brand new ways to play that will put your creativity and agility to the test. You'll have to race against the clock to get as many correct guesses as possible, whether by drawing the word, describing it with as few words as possible, playing in classic Taboo mode, or even using Bendy Bob to help your team unravel the mystery. And for those who enjoy an extra challenge, there's even a brain-bending memory round! Inspired by Cranium's approach, The Big Taboo aims to breathe new life into the original concept by adding extra mechanics and expanding the experience with various variants. It's the perfect choice for anyone looking for a party game with lots of interaction, laughter, and that keeps everyone engaged!
