It's a classic for sure - we haven't played it in years though. How come we only play board games during the holidays? I need to institute a game night I think. Very fun!
my brother has been sick recently, and we've reverted to our old childhood habit of playing hearts and poker, like when did in the summers as little kids. I read somewhere that every couple must have a game they both enjoy. taboo would be a great one.
Yessss!! My family & I have played this game through childhood and beyond. Some of the mispronunciations and goof-ups are still running jokes to this day, wonderful memories!
Ooh, have you ever played Celebrity? My friends are I are obsessed. Everyone writes down the name of 3-5 celebrities (depending on the size of the group - bigger groups, fewer names) and puts them in a hat. You divide into teams and go back and forth trying to your team to guess as many celebs as they can in 30 seconds. That's the first round. In the second round the names go back in the hat and you start over, but you can only say two words to get people to guess (guys are really good at this one). In the third round, no words allowed, just charades. It's hilarious! And awesome when people say weird things in the first round, because they come up in the next rounds! (wikipedia maybe explains it better than me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity_%28game%29)
We are loving it too, playing it every week ;) Also obsessed with Cranium, it's really fun. Every time we have a get together I'm anxiously awaiting for game time. Oh! and Rummikub, love Rummikub.
Oh my gosh, if you love Taboo, then you need to try The Big Taboo... it's like Taboo only better! I'm a huge nerd and force my friends to come over for game nights once a month. (They secretly love me for it though.) Bendy Bob is a HUGE hit!
Have you ever played True Colors? Each person is represented by a color. A question is asked and then each player votes for a person to win by placing a certain color card in a box. I recently played with my aunt, mom, grandma, sister, and boyfriend. One of the questions was "Who was the prettiest baby?" The color green - my mom - won. We began collecting the cards when my grandma said, "Please return my two green cards." She had voted for my mom and forgot about my aunt, her other daughter!
Needless to say, it got a little awkward! :) I recommend playing with a bottle of wine.
I LOVE that game as well. Good for the English/wordy geeky type. I tutor a boy in English once a week and we always play it. Great for improving vocabulary etc. Fun fun.
Very fun game... but my version is *so* outdated. The answers will be "beeper", "World Wide Web", "Denzel Washington" or "Bruce Willis". I need to upgrade to a more recent edition! xo.
We used to play this all the time when I was growing up! Haven't played it in years though. Its so hilarious. Maybe we'll have to dig through the closets and bring it out for Christmas :)
i'm in love with this game. i've had the same one since college (that's 17 years!) i like to whip my husband's behind (and whoever else's is unlucky enough to be his partner.) I think some of my friends cringe when they see me walking towards them with this box in hand.
My family and I have been playing this since FOREVER. I still love it to this day.
Funny story about it. One time we were moving and when we finally got all the boxes into the house we could her this horrible buzzing noise, coming from inside one of the 100 boxes. We later found it...it was the buzzer from Taboo. BAHAHA!
I just played this game for the first time ever with a group on friends a few weeks ago. My husband saw how much I loved it and it's now under our Christmas tree! Happy Friday!
oh my goodness this is one of my all time favorite games! my family has been playing it together (and kicking our extended family's butts at it) for years! thanks for the smile today :)
We get quite competitive about taboo in our house. Certain people aren't allowed to be on teams together because it's far too easy. Mostly my best friend and I. She's Swedish but her English language terminology is top notch.

Thank you for another essential article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a complete way of writing? I have a presentation incoming week, and I am on the lookout for such information. * hanya blogger biasa
I live in Manhattan with my husband and toddler son. Here's my portfolio website with magazine writing and branding work. For two years, I was the relationships blogger for Glamour Magazine, and now I blog for Conde Nast Traveler, as well. Follow me on Twitter or Pinterest. Please feel free to email me (hellojoannagoddard at gmail) if you'd like to advertise on Cup of Jo.
A Cup of Jo is a blog that I work on full-time to help support my family and young son. Without exception, A Cup of Jo's daily posts feature only products I genuinely recommend, and frequently use for myself and my family. Read on if you would like details about how I'm able to fund my work. A Cup of Jo features banner advertising, and my rates are set with small businesses in mind. Many of my sponsors come about organically, since they're brands or companies that I've always loved. A Cup of Jo sometimes includes affiliate links within certain posts, which means that we may make a small commission if a product is purchased through the blog. Of course, a reader would never pay more for a product; it's a branding relationship directly between the brand and me. Rarely (a few times a year), I allow sponsored posts, as long as they're a natural and positive fit with the blog; please be assured that I mark these posts clearly for my readers. As a final note, I sometimes feature my sponsors within round-ups, link lists or gift guides, but only when it's an organic fit and only when I would have included them even if they weren't sponsors; this editorial inclusion is never paid for. Please feel free to email me at hellojoannagoddard (at) gmail (dot) com if you have any questions at all. After more than five years of blogging, I feel truly connected with my readers, and my relationship with these incredible men and women is my top priority and, honestly, one of the great joys of my life. Thank you so much for visiting!

Super fun!! Lots of laughs!
I have never played it! All our games are for us to play with Ehan... we should check it out
It's a classic for sure - we haven't played it in years though. How come we only play board games during the holidays? I need to institute a game night I think. Very fun!

my brother has been sick recently, and we've reverted to our old childhood habit of playing hearts and poker, like when did in the summers as little kids. I read somewhere that every couple must have a game they both enjoy. taboo would be a great one.

This game never gets old, so good.
Definitely one of my favorite games!! It's addicting.
Good game. Right now, I'm obsessed with Bananagrams. Have you ever played it, Joanna?
Greatest game ever! We always play it at the beginning of the year with our dorm to get the kids bonded :)
One of my favorites! My sister and I make the greatest team -- we can communicate just by looking at each other.
Don't think i've ever played this game but it'd be a great addition to family games during the holidays!!

Very fun game... but my version is *so* outdated. The answers will be "beeper", "World Wide Web", "Denzel Washington" or "Bruce Willis". I need to upgrade to a more recent edition! xo.
We used to play this all the time when I was growing up! Haven't played it in years though. Its so hilarious. Maybe we'll have to dig through the closets and bring it out for Christmas :)
I have never in my life played this game!
I'm the same way with catchphrase!!!
I'm bringing it to all my holiday parties this year :)
i'm in love with this game. i've had the same one since college (that's 17 years!) i like to whip my husband's behind (and whoever else's is unlucky enough to be his partner.) I think some of my friends cringe when they see me walking towards them with this box in hand.
really love, and love to read your posts give us inspirations
This is my family's favorite game! Catchprase is fun too, but Taboo's a little harder. We have so many Taboo-gone-awry stories.
Apples to Apples is another favorite!

Happy Friday!

Ahh we were obsessed with that game in high school. It's so much fun.

admission: nothing makes my husband and i angrier at each other than being on the same team for Taboo. no joke.
oh my goodness this is one of my all time favorite games! my family has been playing it together (and kicking our extended family's butts at it) for years! thanks for the smile today :)
Joanna - I'm *totally* upgrading now... I would love to watch my husband attempt to describe "Brangelina" to me... hehe! xoxo.
My dad ALWAYS pretends to shave with the buzzer. Always. It never fails.
We get quite competitive about taboo in our house. Certain people aren't allowed to be on teams together because it's far too easy. Mostly my best friend and I. She's Swedish but her English language terminology is top notch.
LOVE Taboo! Almost as much as Risk :D
agreed (:
