So Now You Know … !

I am on leave yesterday & today just to clear up my weekend replacement leaves!

We are in Look Out Point KL again. This is my second time going up to Look Out Point for a dinner & hangout with friends.

Beforehand, we gathered at Sandra’s house at Taman Midah, Rachel brought and we played this game called Taboo by Hasbro.!

What is Taboo?

Taboo is a word guessing party game commercially available from Hasbro. The object of the game is for a player to have their partner(s) guess the word on their card without using the word itself or five additional words listed on the card.

The game is similar to Catch Phrase, also from Hasbro, in which a player tries to get his or her teammates to guess words using gestures and verbal cues.

Rules of Taboo

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 say “baseball” without saying “sport,” “game,” “pastime,” “hitter,” “pitcher,” nor “baseball.” The giver may NOT say a part of a “taboo” word; for example, using “base” in “baseball” is taboo. The giver may only use speech to prompt his or her teammates; gestures, sounds (e.g. barking), or drawings are not allowed (though modifications may be made for deaf or mute players). The giver’s hints may not rhyme with a taboo word, or be an abbreviation of a taboo word.

While the giver is prompting the teammates (without hand motions), they may yell out as many guesses as possible, rational or not, with no penalties. Once the team correctly guesses the word, the giver moves on to the next word, trying to get as many words as possible in the allotted time. When time runs out, play turns over to the next adjacent player of the other team. The playing team receives one point for correct guesses, one penalty point if “taboo” words are spoken, and the opposing team receives one point each time the giver passes. (Wikipedia)

Then, we continued our trip to Gasoline @ Look Out Point KL.

After having our dinner at Gasoline KL, had a moment of good laughter on the baby Karena (She is so darn cute & naive as usual), we went up to the tower and here’s the stunning view of Kuala Lumpur, again!
