+ <h2>Taboo</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
+ <p>
|
|
|
|
|
+ Taboo is a party game for around 4 to 10 people split into 2 teams. Each
|
|
|
|
|
+ round, a player from a team becomes the <em>giver</em> and the rest of the
|
|
|
|
|
+ team become <em>guessers</em>. The opposing team act as <em>monitors</em>.
|
|
|
|
|
+ </p>
|
|
|
|
|
+ <p>
|
|
|
|
|
+ The <em>giver</em> is given a card containing a word and 5 taboo words. The
|
|
|
|
|
+ giver must somehow tell the <em>guessers</em> about the word without mentioning
|
|
|
|
|
+ the word itself or any of the 5 taboo words. The <em>monitors</em> act as
|
|
|
|
|
+ judges to see if any of the words said are not allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
+ </p>
|
|
|
|
|
+ <p>
|
|
|
|
|
+ If a guesser gets the word right, the team earns a point. If the giver says
|
|
|
|
|
+ any taboo word, the team loses a point. The giver may also choose to pass
|
|
|
|
|
+ and the team also loses a point. The giver is then given another card and
|
|
|
|
|
+ this continues until the round time runs out.
|
|
|
|
|
+ </p>
|
|
|
|
|
+ <h3>Additional notes</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
+ <p>
|
|
|
|
|
+ When there are enough players, the giver is announced and he can start the
|
|
|
|
|
+ game by pressing the Start button. Normally, taboo rounds are 1 minute long,
|
|
|
|
|
+ but we extend it to 2 minutes because of the time it takes to type things.
|
|
|
|
|
+ </p>
|
|
|
|
|
+ <p>
|
|
|
|
|
+ The system can rudimentarily act as a monitor itself. If the giver types out
|
|
|
|
|
+ any of the taboo words verbatim, the system immediately calls taboo on those.
|
|
|
|
|
+ It can also check if the word was guessed correctly assuming it was spelled
|
|
|
|
|
+ correctly. For all other cases, we will rely on the monitors and the giver
|
|
|
|
|
+ to act in good faith.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
+ To facilitate faster playing, there are some command you can just type in:
|
|
|
|
|
+ </p>
|
|
|
|
|
+ <ul>
|
|
|
|
|
+ <li><code>/s</code> - Start the round</li>
|
|
|
|
|
+ <li><code>/p</code> - Pass</li>
|
|
|
|
|
+ <li><code>/c</code> - Correct (someone got the word)</li>
|
|
|
|
|
+ <li><code>/t</code> - Taboo</li>
|
|
|
|
|
+ </ul>
