#05 | Taboo

Taboo makes the list of board games like Just One because it is also a word guessing game that cuts off some of the key clues from being used. Instead of a collective game where any overlap gets removed, this is a team game where the clues that cannot be used are set. Fun bonus, the opponents get to buzz the active team if they use any of them.

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. For 4 – 10 players, games go for about 20 minutes.
