The Big Taboo

Party and Word Games

The Big Taboo is a party board game that combines four variants in the style of Taboo. Teammates race a timer to get their own team guessing a word, and each variant changes how the clue is given: by drawing it, by acting it out, by describing it in only a few words, or through a memory round. Because the challenges differ, speed, creativity and teamwork all decide who wins. A game takes about an hour, is aimed at players aged twelve and over, and was designed by Brian Hersch. It is listed as dating from 2006, and its publishers include Hasbro, Parker Brothers, Hersch and Company and Winning Moves Games.
