Ways to Cheat at Taboo

Due to the wild popularity of our segment on how to cheat at Cranium, we have decided to appease our unethical fan base and provide this follow-up:

Ways to Cheat at Taboo

1) prior to gameplay, arrange the cards in alphabetical order and memorize them. i wouldn't count this as cheating as it feels more like a magic trick than anything else.

2) don't inform any new players of the difference in difficulty between the purple cards and the green cards. but if someone asks about it, PLEASE don't lie. we at sasquatch do not endorse lying. instead say that you're not quite sure, but that the fact that the different colors exist at all must mean something. then change the topic (i.e. is the snapping in the Addams' Family theme song real, or is it pre-recorded on a Yamaha keyboard?)

3) rig an hourglass to move slower (either narrow the tube between the top and bottom, or fill with larger sand particles - BUT DON'T DO BOTH. it will become obv when a couple minutes becomes an hour), and make sure your opponent uses this hourglass to keep your team's time

4) serve gin and tonics (other clear alcoholic drinks will work as well) to your opponents. your team will only be drinking water. NOTE: to make sure no one uses this trick against you, please sniff all opponents' drinks at the outset.

Good luck. And don't forget - it's not really cheating if someone wrote about it on a blog somewhere. Especially a really really famous blog, like this one.
