With Poetry For Neanderthals, one has to talk like a caveman while teammates try to guess simple words or phrases. The catch: you're allowed to use only one-syllable words, which further makes communication a bit more cumbersome and hilarious. You score one point if your team correctly guesses the word or phrase; if it's a more difficult phrase, then you get three points. If you slip up and use a word with more than one syllable, you get a light tap on the head from a soft, inflated stick. You can also pass, but you lose a point that way.
But this hilarious game offers so much more outside the box of a mind-challenging game: It's humorously visual and will surely make everyone laugh while players struggle to communicate. Whether you try to get "tree" across to your teammates or the longer phrase, you'll crack up with each miscommunication. Fun to watch, even more fun to play as you try to think creatively in your caveman voice.
Poetry for Neanderthals is great for parties and groups of any size. The rules are simple enough that almost anyone can join in, and you can adjust the difficulty depending on how brave you're feeling. Keep it to simple words if you want to make things easy on yourself, or test your luck with the hard phrases for some truly chaotic and fun gameplay. It doesn't take long to play, which makes it really great for one quick round at a game night.
To top it all off, the game includes poem cards for making one silly poem right at the end for added fun and laughter. If you are in need of something really different and light to take with you to the next party or game night, then Poetry For Neanderthals is just fine. Get your copy now and make it a night full of laughter, creative thinking, and well-placed bonks!
