  • WELCOME TO THE FAMILY: Poetry for Neanderthals is created by the same guys that gave you Exploding Kittens - an idea first launched on Kickstarter. We aimed to raise $10K. We ended up with $8.7M in 30 days from 219,000 backers. Close to a decade later, Exploding Kittens is still the #1 most-backed project in Kickstarter history. Weve since launched the likes of Throw Throw Burrito, Really Loud Librarians, and more game-night-boosting goodness. Collect them all and brace yourself for epic fun!

Description

Poetry for Neanderthals is a family-friendly party game where players earn points by getting their teammates to guess words and phrases. The catch is that the "Neanderthal Poets" are only allowed to use single-syllable words. If they use any words with more than one syllable, the other team gets to bop them with a 2-foot inflatable club. The team with the most points wins! This hilarious and engaging game is perfect for those looking for top board games for teens and board games for adults and family gatherings.

  • Harder than you think but lots of fun!
Style: Poetry for Neanderthals
The game is very simple. You get a 1 and a 3 point clue. You have to speak in one syllable words (like a Neanderthal) if you don't, your enforcer from the other team gets to bop you on the head with an inflatable club. The big words don't trip you up, it's the smaller words like "only" or "bigger". Everyone is split into two teams and you have one minute to get through as many clues as possible. You get penalized a point if you break the rules and get bopped on the head. This is great for almost any age from kids to adults, and the games go by quickly. As soon as everyone has had three turns you tally up the score. There are no questionable clues in the original edition so it's perfect for the whole family! ... show more

  • Great game also kid friendly
Style: Poetry for Neanderthals
The media could not be loaded. This game is easy to learn yet exciting. The small box is easy to store, the game does not take too long. All of the cards and accessories are good quality. I would deem this game a good quality for the reasonable price paid.

  • Great game!

This game is a hoot! It is like charades, but you can only use one syllable words. A lot of fun for the whole family! Highly recommend!

  • Hilarious & Easy to Pick Up!
Style: Poetry for Neanderthals
This game is an absolute blast! My friends and I, all adults, found it surprisingly challenging! Communicating with only one-syllable words leads to hilarious slip-ups and plenty of laughs, especially when you get whacked with the inflatable stick. Unlike many board games that require you to play teacher while half the group zones out, this game is refreshingly simple. No one has to sit through long-winded explanations or repeatedly ask, "Wait, how does this work again?" Instead, you can jump right into the fun, with a quick video tutorial available if needed. Plus, it's compact enough to fit into my carry-on luggage, making it perfect for trips. I HIGHLY recommend it for any game night! ... show more

  • Great party game. Find myself coming back to this over and over.
Style: Poetry for Neanderthals
I play this game frequently, especially with family. It's a blast to have to function with one-syllable words only. Although I was initially concerned that we would memorize the word set over time, we're still not there yet. It works well for groups of various sizes and is an easy game for anyone to pick up. ... show more
