Description

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 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

The goal is to have your teammates guess your phrases correctly without resorting to complex vocabulary. This game fosters creativity and quick thinking as players must find innovative ways to express ideas with restricted language. It's an excellent opportunity to have a blast while expanding your vocabulary and having some light-hearted fun. The game's white color design adds a clean and minimalist touch, and the high-quality materials ensure that it will withstand countless play sessions. Poetry for Neanderthals is a fantastic icebreaker at parties or family gatherings, encouraging everyone to let loose and showcase their Neanderthal poetic talents. The game's inclusive nature allows players of all ages and skill levels to participate, ensuring that everyone feels engaged and part of the fun. Moreover, the fast-paced gameplay keeps everyone on their toes, making each round full of excitement and anticipation. It's an ideal game for breaking the ice and bringing smiles to everyone's faces.

    • 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

    • Love this game!
Style: Poetry for Neanderthals
This game is fun for everyone! It makes you reframe how you think and everyone will be laughing and having a good time while you're playing! Well made, very portable, and I think it's easy enough that you don't have to be super intellectual to play! In fact, if you have a limited vocabulary you might have an advantage over the lawyers in the room. 😂 Would recommend again and again, and I'll continue buying it as a gift for friends! ... show more

    • Fun for all ages
Style: Poetry for Neanderthals
This is a hilarious game that you can play with just a few people or tons of people. Be ready to laugh at yourself and others! If you can read and talk, you can play this game, so it spans a wide age range.
