The other team gets one point for each mark on their banned word tiles – that is, one point for EACH time anyone on the opposite team said a banned word. The guessing team gets one point for each target word they were able to say out loud. At this point, it’s time to tally up the scores for the round. The round continues until either the guessing team has correctly said all five target words OR the timer runs out. Each time that a banned word is said by any player on the other team, a mark is made on the tile with that word on it. The Clue giver can give clues in any order and can skip around as he chooses.Īs the clues are being given, the other team should have their pens ready. When the guessing team correctly says a target word, the clue giver acknowledges the correct answer and then moves onto the next target word. The clue giver is not allowed to use translations of the target in another language, cannot use parts of the target word in other clues, cannot use charades or other gestures to clue nor can the cluegiver use “starts with” or “rhymes with” clues. The timer is again flipped over, and now the clue giver must try to get their teammates to shout out the target words. The clue-givers should look at the card secretly so that their teammates cannot read the words on it. Each team nominates a clue-giver (we generally rotate through the team members), and the two clue givers exchange target word cards. You may not have duplicates amongst your banned word tiles. You may also not write common pronouns, conjunctions nor prepositions on the tiles. You cannot write down a form of a target word on a tile nor the target word itself. Now, the other team does the same draw a Target word card, flip the timer and then fill out their banned words on tiles. The phase goes on until all 16 tiles have a word on them OR the timer runs out. These words are words that they think their opponents will use while trying to describe the five target words. A sandtimer is flipped, and the active team now writes down banned words, one banned word to a tile. The team also gets a set of markers and 16 erasable tiles. One team draws a target word card and places it on the table so that all of their teammates can see the card, but the opponents cannot. There is a deck of 168 target word cards – each of these has five words printed on them. A divider board is placed in the center of the table so that each side cannot see the area on the table just behind the screen. In this game, players split up into two teams. Banned Words is a new party game from Wonder Forge, meant for the American mass market.
