Date: 1962
Publisher: Milton Bradley
Designer: Based on Game Show
Why It's Significant (in 25 words or less): Password is believed to be the first "forbidden word" clue-giving game, a predecessor of games like Taboo, 25 Words or Less and Catch Phrase.
More About Password: Based on the television game show of the same name, Password challenges players to get their teammates to say the answer. The catch is that they're only allowed to give one-word clues.
