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 they can only use single syllable words to give clues. If they use any words with more than one syllable, the other team gets to bop them with a 2-foot inflatable club.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this game brings non-stop laughs with its cave-speak twist. The inflatable club is a huge hit, letting players bonk others who mess up one-word rules. Kids and grown-ups love playing as teams, though some find it tricky at first to stick to short words. Many note how quick it is to learn but still stays fun. Most love how it works for big groups and game nights, though a few mention the club can get leaky. The game gets folks off their phones and brings loads of giggles, with tons saying it's their new fave for fun with friends and fam!

    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”.

    Great Game, club did not stay inflated

    I bought this for the kids for Christmas- love the easy of set up and simple rules. We had good laughs but had to swap to a pool noodle during the first round. I did not expect the bat to last forever but this was the part my kids were really looking forward to get their hands on. The pool noodle actually kind of hurt so we‘ll have to look into getting something inflatable to replace the original piece. Again awesome game otherwise but bummed we weren’t able to play like intended.

    Best game

    The game is so fun when you and your friends are learning on how to play, especially when they are speaking in one syllable!
