  • 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!

Poetry for Neanderthals is a family-friendly party game 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.

Fun game. Doesn't take long to play and reasonably challenging.

This is one of our families' favorite games to play. It's fun to take to parties as well and can play large groups. Our log bat has a whole that slowly leaks. But it doesn't affect the game.

Bought this to try at my standing adult game night. It was a huge hit, and we laughed hard. I will say that my kids found the inflatable “spank me” club (it got misplaced with the family- safe game) and they have also gotten their share of g-rated laughs out of it. Would love to see expansion packs, because I will be playing this game for years.

This game is so fun and easy, even for young ages! The kids and even the adults loved having the inflatable club to bonk each other on the head when the other team messed up!

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.

Gioco divertentissimo, la mazza gonfiabile rende il tutto ancora più simpatico. Ti mette alla prova perché devi fare attenzione all'usare le parole più colloquiali e rozze possibile. Ottimo gioco per chi studia lingue o linguistica.

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!

Enjoyable game which all can quickly get to grips with and take part. The stick does deflate and it will be a chore to fix but a patch is included with the box. Has some amercan slang or phrases that would not be able to get to but can add to the fun! Hey batter, batter?! We enjoyed and will pick up to play a lot.
