Just Okay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In a pandemic world, my boyfriend and I play a lot of board games. This one was harder than it seems, which was fun. But hitting each other with an inflatable club just wasnt our cup of tea. I gave it to my nephews. They like the club, but didn’t get into the game.

Fun, Fast-Paced, Family-Friendly Game

This is a very fun, face-paced game. It was actually more challenging than I expected but fun, nonetheless. The gist of the game is getting your team to answer the correct word that you describe only using one-syllable words. If you slip up, you get smacked with an inflatable club.

So much fun!

This game was so much fun! It was easy to learn, fun to play, and hitting people with a stick is always a good time! You don't realize how many syllables you rely on until you only get to use one syllable words to explain something 😂 new family favourite!

The Game Where Speaking Good Wins

If you haven't tried Poetry for Neanderthals, you gotta give it a try! It's a competitive word-guessing game where you must speak "good" or get hit with club (inflatable). If you slip and use more than one syllable or one word at a time, you're going to get bonked. This game is so much fun!

Loads of fun!

This was a really fun game! It was easy to learn, fun to play, and everyone had a blast. The way I described it was, it's like Taboo but the words you can't say are anything with two or more syllables. It's a lot harder than it sounds to only speak in one syllable words!! A lot of us found ourselves speaking in choppy sentences, with pauses between syllables instead 🤪 Or after laughing at other people's mistakes as everyone else takes a turn, the first word you use has two syllables too! It was a lot of fun.

A Great Group Game!

Poetry for Neanderthals is a great group game! I played with a group of girls and we all really enjoyed it. It feels so difficult at first, but you get into a groove and really enjoy it the more you play! The blow-up club is obviously a fun addition too!

One Fun Game

We had so much fun playing this game....it's more challenging than you'd think to only speak in one syllable words! The kids really enjoyed the "no stick" and for me it was really motivating NOT to break the rules as I didn't want to get the wrath of the stick ha ha!

So simple yet so much fun

Multiple generations spent the evening after Thanksgiving dinner laughing out loud as we played this together. I wasn't sure about having a club to bop people over the head if they make a mistake but it is one of the funniest aspects of the game. Such a simple game concept and yet so much fun to play! It can be tricky to find a social game that appeals to kids as much as it does adults but this one does it perfectly.

Fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is hysterical. It's like Taboo but way more silly. We played with a group of teens and adults for an hour. The inflatable club is by far the best part. My friends enjoyed bopping each other over and over again and the group couldn't stop laughing. Highly entertaining. Can't wait to play again!

Fun for the Whole Family

We played this game with our 6 and 8-year-olds and they had so much fun. It is perfect for anyone who knows how to read and is quick and easy to get started. Some of my favorite aspects are the video instructions which are great for kids who often tune parent voices out and the actual game packaging. I love how organized it is and how there's a spot to put the timer on "pause" when needed. And of course, the kids loved the inflatable club - our 3yo was the designated judge with hilarious results.
