Celebrity Taboo (1991)

About this game

This is like regular Taboo except that all the "clue words" are names of famous celebrities past and present. Players divide into two teams. A card is secretly drawn and a "clue giver" tries to get his team to say the word on it . . . without using any of the related words that are also on the card. The team has a timer during which they score as many clues as possible.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. The player count is not recorded for this one.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 18 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
