the giver quartet
an even number of players from four to ten sit alternating around in a circle. players take turns as the "giver," who attempts to prompt his or her teammates to guess as many keywords as possible in the allotted time. however, each card also has "taboo" (forbidden) words listed which may not be spoken. should the giver say one, a "censor" on the opposing team hits the buzzer and the giver must move on to the next word. for example, the giver might have to get his or her team to deduce the word "baseball" without offering the words "sport," "game," "pastime," "hitter," "pitcher," or "baseball" itself as clues. the giver may not say a part of a "taboo" word; for example, using "base" in "baseball" is taboo. nor may they use a form of a word; for example, if the word was "wedding" and the taboo words are "marriage," "bride," "groom," "nuptials," or "honeymoon," the words "marry" and "bridal" would not be allowed. the giver may only use speech to prompt his or her teammates; gestures, sounds (e.g. barking), or drawings are not allowed. singing is permitted, provided the singer is singing words rather than humming or whistling a tune. the giver's hints may rhyme with a taboo word, or be an abbreviation of a taboo word.
