Sean's writing is a pleasure to read, and is elevated to straight-up illuminated status with every layout choice. I don't think it's possible to set a better stage than "We are the remarkably talented, devastatingly hot dirtbags of TABOO INK."
This game brings Taboo into the post-Jackbox party game classics territory, something I'd pull out with anyone anywhere any night.
It's such a fantastic encapsulation of reality TV, working seamlessly into the DNA or RPGS, this game gets it on an atomic level, and speaks to the designer's curatorial smarts and instinct: what stays, what goes, and what's the focus. I think the talking head skull and the ?! buttons on the character sheet reallllllllly make this clear.
The graphic design is beyond kinetic, it's inviting and fun and loud and blends style with iconography in the way that the best UX does. Even further, I feel like I'm inside of TABOO INK when reading, and I imagine play will have me seeing my own name as a grungy chiron when I'm speaking.
The soundtrack is the best in a game and I mean it: Bad Brains, Rico Nasty, Danny Brown, and more. This is just my daily listen at this point. Five stars easy
