Score points by guessing words described by your team mates, within 1 minute. Choose the number of points needed to finish the game and the first team to score it, wins.

You know what you'd like to say if you could only find the right words but some words are taboo and must not be used eg. how do you describe money when you can’t say pounds, currency, buy, spend or cash? Use imagination, skill and speed to win. (try “it makes the world go round” or “it doesn’t grow on trees”.

Move round the board. Some spaces have instructions eg. alter time available and/or allow only one member to speak. The instructions suggest extra taboos such as not using brand names. A great team game.
