TABOO RULES
The players are split into two teams of even players (4-10) sitting in a circle. The player enacting the words has to get his teammates to guess that particular word in an allotted time. There are five forbidden or Taboo words on the same card, which the player cannot speak out. The opposing team hits the buzzer if the restricted words are acted out and the player has to move on to the next word. The catch in the game is that the actor or the player can just use speech to prompt his teammates and gestures, singing are normally not allowed. Singing is permitted, provided the player just hums the words, instead of a tune. When time runs out, play passes to the next adjacent player of the other team. The playing team receives one point for correct guesses and one penalty point if "taboo" words are spoken and the opposing team receives one point each time the giver passes. If the guessing team continuously guesses wrong words, no penalties will be charged for the same. Once they correctly guess the words, they move on to the next word. So, accordingly each player and team gets a chance to enact the word and finally scores are tallied and the team with the maximum guessed words emerges victorious.
