I really enjoyed my media appreciation tutorial class tremendously today.I find most of my classes pretty challenging but it was different today.It was one of a kind because Mr.Hardip , my lecturer gave us the opportunity to try out this brainy board game called the "Taboo". Well , most of them never heard about the game. I have it at home but never once bother playing it. My brother bought it few years ago, he normally playes it with his friends. Anyway , since I know how the game works now,I shall play it with my friends. Basicly, this is how Taboo works.Taboo is played by two teams. The object of the game is to correctly identify as many words as possible in one minute,like DUHHHH!.It comes with a deck of double-sided word cards. Each side contains six words,one in large, colored print at the top, the rest in smaller black print beneath. On a team's turn, one member of the team becomes the clue giver and loads a stack of cards into the provided card holder. When the timer is started, the clue giver tries to get his teammates to say the word at the top of the first card.Simple, right? Not necessarily.
How did I find the game ?
Hmmmmm,it may be a little daunting when you first start playing but you will find that you ease right in. It's funny when you crack your brain trying to come up with an alternative only then realise it's already on the card. Really good game to boost your creativity.Besides that, with all the adrenaline rush, sometimes you may try to describe the word before even looking at the taboo words!The competitive spirit to get more words than the opposing team is what makes the game fun and exciting. Overall , what else can I say...it was a fantastic game full of laughter and fun-I think the people at the same block could hear us playing Taboo since we were loud !
So I have played Taboo with a huge variety of people(my awesome classmates) and all have been delighted. It's quick, easy to learn, and anyone can play it. If you buy only one game this year, make it Taboo. They have the new version of it , mine is way to old !
