Taboo

Taboo is the greatest game in the world.I'm not just saying it because i played it last night,but because it is the cold hard truth.Taboo,is the greatest game in the world,and i am saying that for the second time in three lines.I know,such things only need to be said once,but i guess a part of me is still high over the game yesterday night.

For some reason Reece decided to pick the game up when he went out with Eddie and ShiWei for fifty bucks.I didnt know it costs as much to play it at the Mindcafe(What a bloody rip-off),but i thought it was cool of him to bring the game into camp.

He's a little outline on the rules.You and your friends are divided into two major groups.There will be a stack of cards in front of you,and there will be a word like "Spinning",or "Pizza",or "George Washington" on it.Below that word(s) will be a list of other words you cannot use to describe the word on top.For example,if the word is "Devil",the forbidden words or "Taboos",would be "Satan","Lucifer","Horns","Hell" etc.A person from each group is selected at any one time,and he is supposed to help his teammate guess the word without using the forbidden words below.The most number of words guessed in one minute,wins.

So,after the little farewell party we had for our leaving O.C,the guys went upstairs to Section 1 to play the game.I think the game went out of control after a while,with chinese and hokkien words blurted out as hints for the teammates,though strictly illegal according to the rules.Because there's a time limit,people's minds usually go blank during the description,and at times say the funniest and dumbest thing altogether.Or,there are the vaguest answers possible from the guys,which were really hilarious,even now that i think about it.
