How to Play Forbidden Words?
In Forbidden Words, players take turns giving clues to their team to guess words without using certain forbidden words listed on the card. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

1. Create one or more teams

Forbidden words is a team-based guessing game where players try to get their teammates to guess a word or phrase without using any of the forbidden words listed on the card. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. It's a fun and challenging way to test your vocabulary and communication skills!

2. Everyone takes turns to play starting with the first person joined

The game begins with the first player giving a clue to help their team guess a secret word, but they must do so without using any of the "forbidden" words listed on the card. Once their team correctly guesses the word or time runs out, the next player takes their turn as the clue giver, and so on. This continues until all players have had a chance to give clues, and the team with the most correct guesses at the end wins the game.

3. What you see

When it's your turn, your teammates don't see the words but your opponents can see the words, and can buzz if you, the clue giver, use a banned word. Get more than one word guessed by your team during their turn

4. What your team sees

In the game of Forbidden Words, one player must describe a word to their team without using certain "forbidden" words. The other team members cannot see the forbidden words, but the opposing team can. The goal is to get the team to guess the word before the opposing team can score points.

5. What your opponents see

The opposing team can see the forbidden words, which adds a level of strategy to the game as players must carefully choose their words to avoid giving away any clues to the other team.

6. See a summary

In the game of Forbidden Words, each team can see a summary of the words they need to guess. This allows them to strategize and coordinate their efforts to guess the words while avoiding the "forbidden" words.

7. Turn change to opponent team

Players take turns describing words to their team while their opponents keep track of the "forbidden" words. The describing player changes after each turn, so everyone gets a chance to play and describe words.

8. Celebrate the win

The goal is to get teammates to guess the word as quickly as possible, without breaking the rules. Points are awarded based on successful guesses, and the player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
