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.

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.

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.

A great family game with simple premise but tricky to master. It’s a great low cost stocking filler for anyone. Only thing stopping 5 stars is the limit of cards included, a companion app with unlimited cards would be great.

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!

My kids love this game, mostly because of the inflatable bat.

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!

We discovered this simple and fun game while playing games with family over Christmas, and liked it so much we decided to order a set for ourselves. Going to do so on Amazon, we discovered they made a NSFW (Not Suitable For Work, i.e. rude!) edition for adults. As we and family members really enjoy the raucous adult humour in Cards Against Humanity, we decided this edition was a must-have! However, having received and now played the game, we are very disappointed. There is almost no 'rudeness' in it at all, just a small number of words that we have no idea what they mean - we presume they're 'rude' young people's terms, we are older but very worldly-wise and broad-minded but have not heard of them - and the rest is very lame, you could easily be playing the ordinary version. So none of the hilarious, at times embarrassed, cringing or shocked laughs that Cards Against Humanity gives. The card example on the back of the box for this version is the word Nudist and phrase Nudist colony - wow, we're shocked, not! What a shame, we were really hopeful for another fun, easy to pick up, adult humour game...

Great party game and easy to explain the rules and get started. Fairly quick set-up.

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.
