Poetry for Neanderthals is a competitive word-guessing game where you can only give clues by speaking in single syllables. So, instead of saying "broccoli," you'd say something like "green thing you eat for live long and have good health." If you mess up and use a big word, such as "vegetable," you get bopped on the head with a NO !Stick and you lose points.

The goal of the game is to score the most points by correctly interpreting words and phrases. The chosen Poet starts off the game with a Poetry Card and tries to get their teammates to say the listed word, using only words with one syllable within a 90-second time limit.

The team with the most points is the winner.

Contents:
220 cards
1 inflatable NO! Stick
1 sand timer
2 point slates

Be Prepared...

Be Prepared to continue talking in one word syllables well after the game is over.

This games was a lot of fun. I'm always on the look out for group games where people don't have to wait their turn, or if they do they are entertained while they wait. It's like a 'wacky' version of taboo. It's Quick to learn, I liked they way the used the cards and mat to keep score, and people asked to keep playing. We laughed at ourselves and each other.

2 things I will say is
1 - We played with 5 adults and I don't think I would bring the game out again if I had an uneven number of players, but it did work.
2 - I think for ages that would enjoy the game I would put it at 15+. Our 9 year old nephew dropped out after the first round, but maybe it was just not his thing.

Fun with grown ups or kids, great at parties

It's light, silly, different, and fun. Brought to many get togethers with kids and without kids and all liked it. Perfect for ppl who like to play but complain about needing to learn rules!
