Taboo: game rules

🗣 Goal: Explain and guess terms – without saying them.

🎤 Explainer: Sees the word and gives clues. Parts of the word are off-limits!

🎯 Guesser: Types in the word. The first correct answer takes the point.

🚫 Forbidden words: Many terms come with up to six forbidden words. The explainer sees them below the secret word and must not use them — a clue that contains one literally is not sent. The guessers do not see the forbidden words.

🎺 Watcher: With the watcher switched on, the next explainer watches from 4 players on (with three too, if the host wants). They do not guess and blow the horn when a forbidden word is paraphrased or bent: the word is void, nobody scores, the next word follows.

⏭ Skip: The explainer can skip words (2 s cooldown).

⭐ Points: 1 point per guessed word for the guesser AND the explainer.

🔄 Rotation: Each round, every player takes a turn as the explainer.
