ABOUT THE GAME
Taboo is a group game for adults and perfect for a fun night in with friends. How do you describe APPLE when the words RED, FRUIT, PIE, CIDER and CORE are all taboo? If you use a taboo word by mistake, the other team will buzz and you’ll lose a point. Have noisy hilarious fun either online using in-game video chat or in person.

Ratings and Reviews
Best idea ever!
We we’re stuck in the rain and needed a fun last time while the storm made its way through. Everyone young and old had a blast. And unlike the classic card game, these words were easy for the youngsters. It’s a bonus option that you can expand your deck. It does come at a extra cost, but the topics will have everyone in tears trying to explain it or guess. Can’t wait to play this on our next family road trip.

Fun game, but needs to remember cards played
I love the original card game version of Taboo, but for convenience, my family and I played the app version of Taboo on Thanksgiving day. It was fun, but the programmers clearly did not implement a way for recently played cards to be remembered by the app. We played three separate games, and got multiple repeats of cards during those three games. Considering how that Taboo has a ridiculously large number of words to choose from, the fact that repeats showed up so quickly was extremely odd. Fix that, and the electronic version will be quite good. Still, worth the money spent.
Developer Response ,
Hello and thank you for your review. We are sincerely sorry for the bug you encountered. Taboo features 500 cards, which should never repeat in a game. We have already informed our quality assurance and programming teams so they can look into this issue and fix it as soon as possible. Thank you, and if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us at help@marmalademail.com.
Random Mix
I think the app is great but having the option to choose your deck before you play really narrows the field for guessing. There should be an update letting us mix the decks. Also, why limit the rounds to 20? We should play as many rounds as we see fit. Please fix these minor issues. Thanks.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your suggestions! We are always open to feedback on how we can improve Taboo and will be sure to discuss these mentioned options in our next team meeting. If you have any other ideas please let us know by sending us an email at help@marmalademail.com. We’d love to hear from you.
