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.

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.

    • 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

    • 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

    • ME LIKE THIS GAME
Style: Poetry for Neanderthals
Such a fun game! So basically you revert to caveman speak for this one. So nothing over one syllable. If you mess up and say a two syllable word, the game provides you with an inflatable club to hit the person/caveman who messed up. It's a blast to play with friends and pretty much good for any age if they have a good vocabulary because you have to think a little for this one. GET THIS GAME but realize that it's not great for the littler ones. ... show more

    • Fun game
Style: Poetry for Neanderthals
We were taught this game by my in-laws and had fun with it. But, we needed to see how the grands would take to it. The older ones (11 and 13) did pretty good. The nine-year-old took the role of the Oops bonker and wanted to play. She will do better in a few years. The six-year-old wants to be included but doesn't read or understand enough to be a real player. Still, the eight of us had a good time. That experience encouraged me enough that I will now get the expansion pack to have a larger bank of words/phrases. This game is fun but challenging in two ways. One is obvious--you can't use multi-syllable words in clues. I still get tripped up by that. The other is in thinking broadly in terms of what words can mean. The younger players, in particular, had a hard time thinking beyond the specific image they had for a particular word. For example, our word was CASTLE. The 13-year-old trying to describe it had too limited a vocabulary to convey it to others. For example, he didn't think to describe it as a house or building (which he couldn't have said in any case). A facility to think laterally and use words you know to give clues is important. (My wife is a savant at this. Her team always won.) We don't recommend using the sand timer that comes in the box. Use your phone to make a more predictable timer that includes a noisy alarm. We also didn't stick to a 90-second limit. When we were taught the game, we used a three-minute timer. That was TOO LONG, as we used up too many words. Teaching the game to the kids, we used a two-minute timer. As we get used to it, we may lower that to the recommended 90-second timer. It is a fun game that we will enjoy for some time to come. Recommended. ... show more
