Cheesy Chicago - Taboo

10th June 2009 - Taboo

One of the best games I've ever played; 8 of us - Dudes Vs Babes ;) on the eve of Shruti's birthday. She had just cleaned off the Harpic from her hair when we sat down with the game of unspeakable fun!!!

Here's a game in which you need to get your team to guess a word on the card without speaking out any of the taboo words (also included on the card) and using no gestures what so ever; gotta a see a lot of those gestures as the game progressed! We looked for the slightest opportunity to out do the guys!!! It was hilarious how scenes were narrated.

Hats off to the telepathic conversations that Varun and Teju shared; they didn't do much speaking nor even got close to the word!!! Picking on the opposite team's use of gestures led to major arguments. Soon, the guys feared to bring them up since we were on our toes to fight back!!! After a while, Vinay quoted "Array! kab tak darke chup baithenge, hum ladenge".


Shruti had the sand timer between the tips of her fingers to start it even before anybody would be ready and Pushkar finally gathered all his courage and exploded"Usko rakh de, main ready nahi hoo".

These funny incidents get my cheek bones working each time I think of them. The group that night was perfect! The cards were finally exhausted at dawn and as the world outside lit up, Downtown Chicago looked spectacular from the fifteenth floor of Shruti's apartment. The first thing you wanna wake up to see that would promise you a beautiful day ahead :)
