## What is Word War?

Play with friends or family. The classic Taboo fun, now in your pocket.

Describe the main word on the card without saying any of the forbidden words listed below it. Your teammates try to guess, the opposing team watches you closely, and hits TABU when you break a rule. Score the most words before the timer runs out.

TWO GAME MODES

Classic Local
Pass the phone around, take turns. Friends hand the phone to each other for the traditional Taboo experience, fully recreated.

Online Team
Everyone on their own phone, even in different places. Create a room, share the 6-digit invite code, wait for friends to join. The describer's card shows only on their phone; their team must guess without looking.
