Poetry for Neanderthals - You must speak in single syllables or you get hit with a stick. Poetry for Neanderthals is a family-friendly party game similar to Taboo where players earn points by getting their teammates to guess words and phrases. The catch is that you are only allowed to use single syllable words. If you use any words with more than one syllable, the other team gets to bop you with a 2-foot inflatable club. It's a board game that forces you to explain complicated ideas using simple vocabulary. It includes 400 cards and a 2-foot inflatable club.
It's a board game that forces you to explain complicated ideas using simple vocabulary while sounding a little bit dumb. Cards are double-sided totaling 400 clues for maximum re-playability! Includes a 2-foot inflatable NO! stick for guaranteed laughs and ultimate enjoyment.

<span itemprop="description">Our son adopted the role of Neanderthal to a tee!A lot of the words are quite complicated to guess using one syllable words. Best with older kids or adults.</span>

<span itemprop="description">This game is harder than it seems but also so much fun! We play with our 10-year-old and it's the perfect way to do some brain work that's also really enjoyable. Her favorite part is bopping us with the club, lol. Thank you for such a cool game!</span>

<span itemprop="name">Great game but so so quality</span>
<span itemprop="description">The game is a lot of fun for young kids and adults. We had a very hard time not saying multiple syllable words and also not wasting time laughing out loud. Only problem is our no stick came with a hole in it where we couldn’t patch it. Since it was a Christmas gift from family in another state, could not exchange. Not as much fun without the stick.</span>

<span itemprop="name">So fun!</span>
<span itemprop="description">I fell in love with this game so fast! It is so fun to be able to whack someone when they mess up on their syllables! Plus, the poems by grok at the end (optional) are so funny! This is great for 2 players to a ton of players!I saw a previous review saying the poems were gone... this was not the case for me... so maybe a mistake for that specific person?</span>

<span itemprop="name">Bring back Grok's words please!</span>
<span itemprop="description">I absolutely LOVE this game. I had so much fun playing it at a friends house, I had to go out and buy it. But, I was SO sad when I opened the box and realized Grok's words of Love and Sad are no longer a part of the game!! Those were the BEST way to end a game; laughs all around whether you won or lost. Please, oh please bring these back. It's a fantastically fun game, and these cards made it even better!</span>

<span itemprop="name">Fun for all</span>
<span itemprop="description">I'm glad I got Poetry for Neanderthals because it's a lot of fun for students learning languages. Although we have it in English and not other languages, it's fun to see students and professors flex their linguistic skills by coming up with single-syllable hints.</span>
