Taboo is a word guessing game by Hasbro. A player chooses a card and has to make his partners guess the word on the card without saying the “taboo” words listed below the word. For example, someone may have to make his partners guess the word “pool” without saying the words “swim,” “water,” or “bathing suit.” Below are some Taboo cards for business English.
