Poetry for Neanderthals® Word-Guessing Card Game

A word game where u must speak good or get hit with a stick

It’s good to be a Poet. It’s good to be a Neanderthal. What isn’t good is being both of those things at the same time. 

As a Poet, you’d love to recite thoughtful prose like:

The mighty Woolly Mammoth makes a mockery of my tiny hairless body.

But as a Neanderthal, you’re only capable of saying: 

The most strong big thing with trunk and much hair make fun of my too-small bald bones and skin. 

The trouble for you is that as a Neanderthal, you don’t know any words that are more than one syllable. The trouble for your team is that they’re listening to a Neanderthal recite poetry…

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 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 (the NO! Stick). Basically, it’s a game that forces you to sound a little bit dumb.

It’s a game of poetry. It’s poetry for neanderthals.
