Do you all recommend I purchase the newer version or stick with the old version? I've played the latter before and loved it.

I recommend purchasing the newer version. I own and love the old version and the new version has the option of adding a twist but you can just chose to play it the traditional way. The biggest reason I would recommend purchasing the new one if the words and people are more current and relevant to today.

honestly i cannot tell you to buy it because although i bought the game, i have not played it as yet.

Ive played both versions and yes I definitely recommend buying the new one... Its a good addition to the old ones, plus a good updated list for the words they've kept which is good so young kids could relate to.

I don't know anything about the older version so I can't help you, sorry. New is good?

The newer version is virtually identical to the old. It actually has more words (I think) because each card has 4 'Taboo' words. The only thing I didn't like about the new game were the card holders and the buzzer. The card holders are not separated, so that is inconvenient. The buzzer is no longer a buzzer, but rather it sounds like a dog toy when you squeeze it. So the game is the same, if not better. But the accessories are not what I would have liked. Hope this helps!

I never had the first one but this is a a great game. Lots of people playing every time I get on, but haven't played in a while. You can talk to people with keyboard messages and it has daily and monthly "quest" to do also. I best part I like is no monthly fee to play. ... play when you want and as much as you want. I like it and hope this helped a little

Charles, just loaded this game on my Windows 8 computer and have played around six hours with no problems whatsoever. Happy gaming!

If you have SC4, keep it. None of the upgrades to the new edition is worth while. Very limited in size of cities. I personally am not a fan and unhappy with it.

You need the original game, unfortunately. Sorry for my late response, this one got lost in the mail.

I bought this version, the deluxe version, and it is as you said in the description! Hours of fun - even more if you get one of the expansions...

I am not sure what the old version was but my grandkids played it a very short time and have not requested to play again...maybe they were to old for it. 11, 10, & 8

I guess its better graghics, I think the old version was DOS based and the new version is windows based, unless I am showing my age and there was another version between the DOS based and Windows based games.

The game is mainly the same. However, there have been some minor changes to some of the wording in the game. Unfortunately, as the manufacturer used the same UPC the seller might have only had the older version as this version was released in mid 2013.

The biggest problem is that their downloading instructions are super unclear and outdated. After hours I was able to download the game on to my computer which is a brand new Mac. (I don't know if pc has less problems with it) however I will also tell you that once I finally got it downloaded, I could only get the base game to play. Neither of the expansion packs work because I have the "wrong code" I have to say that personally for me (while I love the game) downloading it was very difficult... I have a brand new laptop so I don't think it is that... Hope that helps!

I would get the latest version that you can get. It probably not wort the hassle for the few dollars difference between the ʻOld Version" and newer versions. Any way, itʻs an excellent product and has saved my sanity several times and actually saved me money on repairs, without any hassles.

Nope! This version serves as a base set (victory cards and treasure cards), so it will work in place of the original if you're using an expansion

Personally, after playing 14, I am going back to 13. It seems to me that the physics are a bit off and I don't like the new interface at all. It is also harder to read everything. 13 used nice big, bold lettering, 14 not so much.

Pretty much the same. The only difference is the high-res, next-gen graphics on the Definitive Edition. If you just want to play the game and enjoy the story, then the 360 version is good enough!

Absolutely. This isn't a continuation of the first game. This is a version of the first game with expanded game play. Set-up and reading the instructions is simple and you should be able to play and understand the game pretty quickly.

I would go with the original first. The types of cards on the original help you learn faster and overal the original is more fun as a standalone game
