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.

Great game! Eager for a stats section or history section!

Excuse the semantics, but I am excited for this game and its future on mobile, but I love the game! I have so much fun with family and friends! My one desire would be a stats/history section that would allow me to see the previous games I’ve played with team names and scores; not even necessarily the cards each rounds (although that’d be nice too) but the results of each game in the past. If any developers see this, maybe they’ll consider informing the higher ups of this change. I love the game and thank you!

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.

no freedom to incorporate “house rules”

for younger players in my family, i want the ability to add more time to their timer, but can’t. also, in the hard copy non-digital non-app version of Taboo, to disincentivize too much skipping, we like to deduct a point for every skip, but can’t do that in the app. i’ll update my rating to 5 stars once more game play options are added for “house rules” customization.

Love it but

Love it but I wish there was an option to tell the app how many people are on a team so the number of rounds is accurate. Maybe there is and I just missed it?

Fun, but repetitive

We played about 4 games and then the words just started repeating. Seemed like they were even in the same order. All the words in the English language and this game only has about 50 of them. I added 2 additional packs, but I think the main pack should have a bigger variety of words.

Can't manually correct scores

App works fine, but missed a critical feature in my opinion. If I mis-clicked a button, or the time ran out before I could input a result, I'd like to be able to manually edit the result for each word before moving on to the other team's turn.
