KAIP ŽAISTI Vienas žaidėjas mato žodį ir aiškina jį komandai, bet negali ištarti nė vieno raudono tabu žodžio. Atspėjo – taškas! Ištarė tabu – taškas atimamas. Laimi daugiausiai taškų surinkusi komanda. Rinkitės Tabukai kitam vakarėliui ir garantuotai prasidės juokas! Tabukai nėra oficialus Taboo, Tabu ar susijusio žaidimo variantas – tai savarankiška programa, naudojanti klasikinę žaidimo mechaniką.
