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! This hilarious and engaging game is perfect for those looking for top board games for teens and board games for adults and family gatherings.

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.

Poetry for Neanderthals is great for grownups & kids ages 7+ and accommodates 2-6 players.

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!

Harder than you think but lots of fun!
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!

Fun! The inflatable club is a nice touch!
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!
by Luke Mowry
Great party game. Find myself coming back to this over and over.
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.

Great fun!
This very simple to learn game has brought a lot of laughs to our community game night. Pretty much anyone can play and the club definitely adds a new element of silliness to the game!

Love this game!
This game is fun for everyone! It makes you reframe how you think and everyone will be laughing and having a good time while you’re playing!Well made, very portable, and I think it’s easy enough that you don’t have to be super intellectual to play! In fact, if you have a limited vocabulary you might have an advantage over the lawyers in the room. ðWould recommend again and again, and I’ll continue buying it as a gift for friends!

Fun for all ages
This is a hilarious game that you can play with just a few people or tons of people. Be ready to laugh at yourself and others! If you can read and talk, you can play this game, so it spans a wide age range.
by As always, this never fails me. Works well for casual use and keeps my lashes on for a few days. Package came unopened and in perfect condition!
We loved this game so much that we bought it for ourselves. Be prepared for your stomach to hurt after so many laughs!! Easy to learn game and rules can be altered to simplify fun. Great gift for anyone (18+)!
