Bought this to play with students in class. It brought them alive. Super hilarious to watch them talk smack for them to fumble when it was their turn. Hilarious game. Good for team building!

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!

It’s a good game, yet it mostly works with english words. Regarding the delivery, sadly it arrived broken, we needed it for a weekend birthday and we just assumed the loss.

Oh my gosh! for family, Kids, or friends, this game is so much fun and so funny! The kids especially lived the rubber club you get to hit someone with when a mistake is made! We have gotten good at speaking like a Neanderthal! Our EASL friend did have some problems with it.

Absolutely amazing game and a lot of fun. The pacing is great and quick. You must come up with a strategy to best make your one syllable word sentences. It's portable and durable, except maybe the inflatable bonkers could eventually pop.
