    PFN Funny Card Game

    It’s just a funny game, especially when my friend whacks me just because I said “soda”. 10/10 game.

    Fun game but buy a timer!

    Got this game for the family or just for the kids to play. We had borrowed a version at our library and liked it enough to purchase our own set. Unfortunately, the newer version doesn’t come with a sand timer. It’s not the same to play with a phone timer unless you download a good visual for the countdown. I don’t want the kids to play using my phone so we’ll have to buy an egg timer or something which feels like a ridiculous hassle. This is the first time I’ve seen a game intentionally not include all needed pieces. If you can find the original version, I recommend it!

    Great game! Horrible Bat

    We love this game but from the first second we played the game, the bat started leaking air. The game comes with a patch, but it is leaking from the seam where you cannot patch. Now, we have to reinflate the bat every other turn and it's really annoying. Of course you can play without a bat, but the bat really adds to the fun of the game. I wish there was a way to get a replacement bat, because then I would change this review to 5 stars.

    Hi there,

    Thank you so much for your review! We’re so happy to hear you love the game, but I’m really sorry to hear about the issue with the bat leaking from the seam. That definitely sounds frustrating, especially since the bat adds so much fun to the experience.

    I’ve reached out to our Customer Support team, and they’ll be contacting you shortly!

    Thanks again for your feedback!

    Super fun game but missing the poetry cards

    I have played this game many times with my brother’s family since the pandemic and have always enjoyed how hilarious fun and easy it is to play! We have really enjoyed the use of Grok’s Love Sad poetry cards where we insert some of the words we have won into empty spots in several different preformed Neanderthal poems.

    This year I was gifted my very own box but was disappointed to find the poetry cards were missing. I really liked how those made the “Poetry for Neanderthals” game play out the poetry part of it.

    I would still recommend this game, but am personally missing the Grok cards. ::In gravelly and grunt Neanderthal voice:: “Sad Time”.

    We’re sorry for the disappointment around the missing poetry cards in your box. The game has gone through a few versions over time, and we totally understand how much those cards added to the experience for you. Your feedback is incredibly helpful and has been shared with our team.

    I went ahead and reached out to our Customer Service team! Someone will be reaching out to you shortly. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you!
