Tabu: Deine Tabu Special-Edition is an expansion for Taboo released in 2009 for 4–10 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Brian Hersch and its main mechanics are Team-Based Game.
Just start and get into the party game. Re-experience Tabu. This little edition of cards (22 cards of double-sided cards with terms and one rule card) is a stand-alone playable game of Tabu. It can also be used as very small expansion to the base game. It has quick and easy rules like just set up two teams and explain the card given from the other team to your team members in 30 seconds. If you did it successfully your team scores 1 point; if not, or if you use one of the "Tabuwords", you get nothing. (from back of the box and user summary)
Tabu: Deine Tabu Special-Edition supports 4–10 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Tabu: Deine Tabu Special-Edition is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Tabu: Deine Tabu Special-Edition for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.

The catalogue lists Tabu: Deine Tabu Special-Edition as an expansion for Taboo.

Check that your edition of Taboo is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
