How it Works

Divide the staff into teams and explain the rules. Each team selects a player to start; they pick a card and try to get their team to guess the word while avoiding forbidden words, with one team member monitoring. After one minute, teams switch roles and tally the scores, alternating clue-givers until everyone has had a turn.

What's included

48 Taboo cards for gameplay, printable prize coupons for the winning team, and instructions and examples to guide the game
