Poetry for Neanderthals - Competitive Word Guessing Game - Party Game, Ideal for Family Night, Kid and Adult, 2+ Players, Ages 7+, 15 Minutes to Play

Great fun for a range of ages. Definitely helped having a couple of drinks before hand to loosen everyone up a little but it was a blast and everyone had a great time with this one. Great pacing and good quality yet quite novel with the inflatable club adding in some extra laughs - though once we got serious we forgot about it half the time and just stormed on! Great value for money and great set to start off.

Great fun - good to play at game night with friends or family. Easy to learn. Keeps you on your toes!

This game is pure chaotic joy. You’re only allowed to speak in one-syllable words while trying to get your team to guess phrases like “polar bear” or “baby shower.” Sounds easy? Nope. It’s like trying to give directions while your vocabulary goes on strike. The fun is non-stop — kids, adults, grandparents, even the moody teenager laughed. It’s rare to find a game that levels the playing field, where even the most articulate person ends up sounding like a confused Neanderthal yelling, “wet food for face!” Now, about the quality — it’s genuinely well made. Cards are sturdy, easy to read, and the game is compact and simple to set up. And then… there’s the No Stick. It’s inflatable, hilarious, and YES, it comes with a hole in it on purpose so it doesn’t pop during gameplay. At first I thought it was defective. Then I realised it's just... brilliantly dumb by design. In terms of value for money, it’s great. You get loads of cards, endless replayability, and big laughs for a reasonable price. Plus, you don’t need any batteries, screens, or extra patience, just the ability to sound like you’ve never learned to speak. If you're looking for something light, fast-paced, and guaranteed to cause hilarious speech malfunctions, this is it. A total hit for game nights, rainy afternoons, or surviving family gatherings with a smile.

This is a really good game, it's fun if you're extroverted and can think quickly. It's probably not for very young children but it is genuinely hilarious, especially the ability to hit your friends on the head with an inflatable bat!

Hilarious game and harder than you'd think. You can easily play a few short rounds if you want something quick or play for hours! We played as a group of 3 which meant playing a slightly adapted version - I'm not sure if we followed the actual instructions or just made up our own but it was a lot of fun, though we did struggle a little to keep up with scores (and we didn't understand the score sheet thing? Maybe if we had utilised that properly it would have made keeping up with scores easier! The no stick is hilarious but also a lethal weapon. Definitely don't whack too hard - it can and will rebound and you'll take a bat to the face which wouldn't be pleasant.

This game was great fun. I dont think very young kids would manage it, remembering to speak in one syllables only, but our youngest is 9 and he got it. Everyone enjoyed it, fierce competition in our house!

Good game

Bought this for my dad for Christmas, and it is hilarious! We played several rounds, and realised that it's actually quite tricky to describe things only using one syllable words! Probably will end up buying myself a copy at some point. Totally worth it!

A lot of fun to play with friends, we laughed so much. Four of us played together which worked really well for us. Think it would be a great game to play with kids as well.

Lo utilizo en clase para finalizar algunos días y los alumnos lo pasan genial. No puedo evitar reírme yo también cuando los veo explicarse, y también mejoran su agilidad mental.

If you are into word games and you're usually with a group, I highly recommend this game. It has become one of our favorites
