About this item
- MAKE PARTY GREAT: We have fun game. Help team guess word on card. Catch is, use only one sound. No big words or boom stick hit you! Poetry for Neanderthals is the guessing game that needs you to channel your inner caveman. Speak in single syllables and win points with every correct guess. If you start talking fancy, someone from the opposing team gets to bop you with an inflatable club. Looking for a party game for kids and adults that will have the crowd roaring with laughter? You’ve found it!
- COMPLETE GAME SET: You’ll have everything you need. Just call your crew, tell them to leave their grammar at the door, and let the games begin. You’ll receive 200 double-sided cards, 2 game boards, and a 2-foot inflatable No! Stick, and 1 sand timer. And we know you’ll get a bit too enthusiastic with the inflated club- it’s hard not to. That’s why we’ve thrown in a repair patch with each of the card games for families. In case anything happens, just patch it up, and keep on guessing.
- WHOLE FAMILY FUN: Kids will love it. Teens won’t get enough of it. Adults will be scrambling to get their own copy. Meet your new game night staple. Poetry for Neanderthals is great for grownups & kids ages 7+ and accommodates 2-6 players. The more of your primitive family and friends you bring in on the fun, the more knee-slapping hilarity will ensue. Break it out after dinner, on lazy weekends, during picnics, or at work when your boss has gone for that conference.
- ELEVATE THE EXCITEMENT: It make fun big plus big. Laugh loud plus loud. Pal will greet hand. Tell you praise. Say top day of life …. We’re talking about the Poetry for Neanderthals expansion pack! (And we know we’d get bopped a few times there. We live dangerously) The More Cards Box 1 adds 2,000 new words and phrases. Think you can do better than our Neanderthal brains? We’ve also included 20 blank cards that give you the power to personalize the game.
- 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. We’ve 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!

Product 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!

So, why not embrace your inner Neanderthal and grab a copy of Poetry for Neanderthals to kickstart your next fun-filled game night!
The premise of the game is brilliantly simple yet incredibly entertaining. It challenges players to describe complex words and phrases using only single-syllable words, just like Neanderthals would. The result is a riot of hilarity as players attempt to communicate with limited vocabulary, leading to unexpected and uproarious moments.
Note for younger players: I was worried it would be hard for my 8 year old nephew to fully grasp the single syllable rule for giving clues and to still feel like he was having fun playing a game vs feeling like he was in school or something. He struggled a little at the beginning. He did eventually get the hang of it but we also purposely chose either his Mom or myself as the one from the other team, standing next to him with the blow-up club, so we could whisper ideas or words to prompt him if he was struggling with a clue. We weren’t telling him what to say though…it’s hard to explain but if you have younger kids there’s likely so,done there who will know what I mean. He was so proud when he’d get us to guess the right thing and he had a blast playing the Bam-Bam part as well. We all did.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
👉 Important tip— when you play, make it a rule that they must speak in sentences vs. just giving one syllable words like clues. If you don’t, it becomes more like a difficult “CatchPhrase” type game.
On the Catchphrase note, make sure people can’t do clues like gesturing people to fill in a “blank”- the next word. That will dampen the fun of this game. Again, making caveman type sentences mandatory is where this game (and the laughs) will shine! Trust me!!
So with that said…..
MAKE GAME RULE SPEAK MUCH WORDS

Top reviews from other countries
(Please note that the above review was written in Neanderthal Poetry style using only one-syllable words and, embarrassingly, got it *wrong* when I first submitted it because I used the words “people” and “very”.😆 Thank you, Amazon, for the”edit” button!)
Imagine trying to convey your thoughts without simple words like “even” … or “simply” … or “family”! It’s just a hoot to play, and can be adapted to make for a less competitive game if that’s what you prefer. However you play, it’s fun to whack a fellow player over the head with the inflatable club when they slip up and utter multi-syllabic words like … “utter”, “multi”, and “syllabic”. Highly recommended. Big big good fun!
Really simple rules and gets you thinking!
Gave us lots of giggles
Also good for those teens who aren’t confident at group speaking as it’s quite silly! Our 2 really came out their shell once we got playing.
Scoring system is easy to follow, and it all packs into a small box. My only criticism is that once played a few times you’ll know the buzz words to use so an expansion pack of cards would be needed.
That said, for the price it’s absolutely brilliant
