Taboo for Android
RULES
An even number of players from four to ten sit alternating around in a circle. Players take turns as the "giver," who attempts to prompt his or her teammates to guess as many keywords as possible in the allotted time. However, each card also has "taboo" (forbidden) words listed which may not be spoken. Should the giver say one, a "censor" on the opposing team hits the buzzer and the giver must move on to the next word. For example, the giver might have to get his or her team to say "baseball" without saying "sport," "game," "pastime," "hitter," "pitcher," or "baseball" itself. The giver may not say a part of a "taboo" word; for example, using "base" in "baseball" is taboo. The giver may only use speech to prompt his or her teammates; gestures, sounds (e.g. barking), or drawings are not allowed. Singing is permitted, provided the singer is singing words rather than humming or whistling a tune. The giver's hints may not rhyme with a taboo word, or be an abbreviation of a taboo word.

Words get repeated too many times but a good app
AWESOME GAME JUST NEEDS MORE DIRECTIONS AS IT CAN BE QUITE CONFUSING AT FIRST...FIX THIS AND I GIVE IT FIVE STARS..THANK YOU. BUT REALLY AWESOME , I WOULD recommend it .
this app is great and the expansion pack worked. I wish you could play in landscape mode!
It's a works great and its fun for your company you all so can make it a shots game lol :-)
But my girlfriend almost broke up with me
Nice and simple, great app
Good implementation, nice customize features bit its severely lacking in the future of a pass button to skip a card
Too many repeats. I had to drink because of this.
Can u update more words please..
this is the coolest game i have ever played !!!

There are only 10 rounds and then u see all the words over again
Just what you need for a great giggle get together
Whats best about this app is you only need your phone and a few friends to have fun. Compared to the other apps, this one even has an option to create your own words n taboos. Simply awesome!
However it would be great if you could add more words as they repeat very often.
The interface for this app is awesome! It is very easy to keep track of scores and to adjust scores after the round is over. On a negative note, the words in this app REPEAT way TOO OFTEN. To make matters worse, there is no way to keep track or set which words were used, so that they do not repeat as often. After playing two games in a row, over 75% of the words had already been used in the previous game. If they ever correct this issue this will definitely be the best version of Taboo as an app.
It deletes itself on my phone. I have to keep reinstalling it. Fix it please.
Doesn't give you new words if you don't rate it But is nice fun.
Great game. Sometimes terms repeat suggesting maybe a small library
It's a week designed and easy to use app... but words are way too repetitive!
Liked the app..but it has very limited words Plz add more
I had some trouble after getting a new phone, but all is well. The English cards are really worth it so I suggest the add-on
Doesn't give you new words if you don't rate it But is nice fun.
Hands down the best Taboo app out there. Awesome!
This is a great app for parties if you don't have the game itself. All you need is your phone, and you'll have tons of fun with it. My only qualm is that (similar to the actual board game) some of the words are too easy, in terms of the words you're allowed to say to describe them. But that's just some of the words, so don't get me wrong, this game is plenty challenging and will get the job done. 5 stars definitely deserved
The app is the best if its kind and I could couldn't ask for anything more. All other taboo apps pale in comparison to this one. I accidentally messed up the app, and they emailed me step by step instructions on how to fix it. if I could give this more than five stars I would
Really fun, but repeats words way too often (even with 1200 word add on purchase) 5 stars for interface 1 star for how often the same words come up. Note: This is after purchasing the 1200 additional words So the interface is great! Easy to score and correct any accidents at the end of each guessing round. BAD: The same words come up over and over again, even in just a few rounds. This app would be all five star if it stored the list of words used recently and used this speed list to minimize repeats in a day. 1200 words should be plenty for an hour of play, without repeats.
Obviously not much variety. I repeat words very often. Can't play full games with accumulation of points.
Galaxy nexus running android 4.2.2. This app crashes every time I try to play the game, paid for the pro version too. It's been several months and still no fix.
It's a great game but there are not enough words so you practically know what the word is after playing a few games.
My mom and I were having a great time playing this game. Until the word "c*nt" came up as a "don't say" word. And "Coke" was misspelled as "Cock". And "Wedding" was "Weeding". Seriously... if you want us to pay $1.50 for a bunch of words, spell them correctly and keep an eye on what you've written. I don't want to manually go back and check all these... Not too hard, folks. Works well as an app, however. Not the prettiest thing but it's stable and works well. Two stars instead of four for content. Make it prettier and you'd get a fifth.
It is a fun game but there are too many repeating words now. Too many, please update with lots more words!
But way too few cards if you don't read the description
I was confused on how to play. I think they should go through a few things. Just to refresh your memory. But overall I think it is a good game .
It was so much fun until lime 50 words later they just started repeating. Add more cards & it would be 5 stars
Fun game...runs well but very limited content in terms of number of words available
My family of four enjoyed the game. A few are misspelled.
Very fun but it is too repetitive
its a good game..fun when u cant carry the original around..but seems to have limited no of words..needs a bigger word bank..
