The game “Taboo™” is a game in which one team member attempts to get another to say a word without using certain “forbidden” clue words. Those words are therefore “taboo”.
We play another version of this game continually in real life. While not all topics are appropriate for sharing in pubic, we often ignore some very important things that need to be dealt with. The problem is when these issues are not brought to light, the result is often very serious.

Several similar board games are available which basically follow the same format. Players either roll dice or spin spinners to determine whether they can play and then move their marbles or game pieces accordingly. The object is to get your game pieces around the board. However, as play proceeds the strategy is to take out other player’s pieces making them start the process over. Of course, the insincere “sorry” accompanies the act of sending another player’s piece out of play, and so the game goes.
