Example: taboo

Taboo: a rotating describer talks teammates toward a target word without saying it or any forbidden word; a violation is a buzz — a scored game event, not an error. Each speaker spends a personal word clock; the round ends when the describer's runs dry.

Kernel features it demonstrates: rotating roles (acting_seat moves every round), legality-as-gameplay via handle_invalid, per-seat clocks, and a points-per-card reward shape. Registering it touched one game package, one baseline actor, one prompter, and one GameEntry — server, replays, leaderboard and client picked it up from there.
