Kinshi, or 禁,is the Japanese word for "forbidden/taboo".
iPhoneWorld review:
"I absolutely love this game and I think everyone should go and buy it right now. If you need a quick and fun game for parties, this is definitely the way to go."
You basically try to make your teammates guess a certain word without saying any of the Kinshi(forbidden) words. For example, make your teammates say the word "Recession" without mentioning the words "downturn", "economy", "sub-prime", "layoff" or "stock". Its super easy to pick up!
Its perfect for people whod enjoy a few fun games among friends and family!
There are 500+ cards and even more will be constantly added in the near future for free! Its basically an endless source of word game fun for 99 cents!

Pros and cons of Word Kinshi (A Taboo-like game) app for iPhone and iPad
Word Kinshi (A Taboo-like game) app good for
Lots of fun - just like Taboo! I really like that it keeps score.
Only drawback is - it needs a pause button in case things need to b stopped for some reason.
Also the creators need spell check "helmlet" for example (ran across a few spelling errors.
There are thousands of iPhone games in the app store that are designed for one player. But if you want a game for parties and family gatherings, Word Kinshi is the way to go.
I don’t know how big the word catalogue is, but I played through the game a few times, and didn’t notice any repeated words. The graphics for the game are excellent and obviously a lot of thought went into them.
I absolutely love this game and I think everyone should go and buy it right now. If you need a quick and fun game for parties, this is definitely the way to go.
Just like the real taboo game but with a cool cosmetic design. Lots of words. Totally fun game and is totally worth the price!
Super fun app, I was playing this with my friends when we were moving, had a blast, just like the real game!
Bought this for my iPad when @ a party with other taboo finatics... We played it for three hours, and no repeat words! The built in timer was great! Lots of fun... Worth the money easily!!
Good graphics, good but not-distracting sound effects, lots of non-repetitive words (but the more the better, thats why Im looking forward to the updates promised). It can use a few minor improvements in future updates as well but is definitely worth the 99 cents. Great fun overall! Most importantly it never crashes or freezes. You should get it if you love Taboo!
Some bad moments
The idea of the game is great. But they repeat the same words and it gets old fast. Not worth the 99cents. They need to update their 20 words!! Also, Id like more time on the timer.
Not a very good execution of the popular game. The game of Taboo is lots of fun, but this version falls well short. There are other versions in the app store that do a much better job.
You cannot edit settings in this game either. This version is not worth 99 cents.
I bought this app and it crashes on me all the time, freezes up before it crashes. I deleted this one and bought another Taboo game from the app store, which works perfectly. Too bad I cant get a refund for this.
Very true to taboo, but repeating words ruined the game. We got repeating words EVERY game allowing teams to score up to 10 points in one turn. Please fix this problem!
