Tabu junior

The squeeky-quick game for the right word!

Tabu Junior is intended for children between eight and twelve years of age; the game uses simplified rules, but the same game mechanisms as in the family version of Taboo. The cards belong to four different categories and each card carries a term and two taboo words. The four categories are „On the road“, marked in red, „Play and Sport“, marked in blue, „I will …“, marked in purple, and „From A to Z“, marked in green; the cards are separated by category and stacked. Players sort themselves into two teams and the starting team is randomly chosen and each team chooses the first clue giver. The clue giver draws a card from a stack of his choice and describes the term as quickly as possible without using one of the taboo words. The opposing team holds the squealer and squeezes it when a taboo word or parts or a variation are used. If that happens, the clue giver simply draws a new card. All other members of his team may guess simultaneously and as often as they want. When the term is guessed correctly, the clue giver sets aside the card for a point and draws a new one from a stack of his choice. When the timer has run out, the pawn of the active team moves one step forward on the track for each correctly described and guessed term. You can also set aside a difficult term and draw a new card in order not to lose too much time, there is no penalty or disadvantage for this. The first team to reach the star on the track wins the game.

This is Taboo as we all know and love it, with terms perfectly suited for the age group, rather simple, and a fantastic training for synonym vocabulary and creative descriptions.
