I took this game to work with me and had my highly educated colleagues play with me during lunch. We laughed so hard that there were tears in our eyes. The gist: give clues to your teammates to guess a word or phrase. The one rule? You can only speak in single syllables, like a Neanderthal. (Ice cream: I eat cold snack in round ***** on top of hard cone. Or something like that.) If you speak in a multi-syllable word, you get whacked with the "NO stick". (An inflatable club.) We all especially loved getting to whack our neighbor when they spoke in multi-syllables. We had such a good time and it went pretty quickly as well. (10 players finished in less than 30 minutes.) The only thing I did not like about it was actually blowing up the club. The plastic sticks together and blowing air went nowhere. I was finally able to separate the plastic enough to get a bit of air in, then it became easier. But also getting the air out proved difficult. The air nozzle isn't the easiest to work with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great game and funny. My daughter played it with her boyfriend and his family and they had a blast. Very easy to understand the game directions and easy to play. They loved the inflatable bat and had fun hitting each other with it. Great game for a fun night

I absolutely loved this game! When you get older creating sentences becomes so much more complex. However playing this game reminds me of working with my kids at school and using simple formation of words. Loved this game and will definitely play with my family again!!#poetryforneanderthals #Tryazon

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got my roommates together with some friends to play this and we laughed far too much. For a large group, a second NO stick might have been good (there were six of us and trying to reach around the table for it was a bit of a hassle). Great game.

If you ever wanted to take your English back to the basics, this game is for you. It was a big hit (literally 😂) amongst all of us. It’s great for big groups. It’s just as much fun talking like a Neanderthal, as it is to hit the person with a bat who doesn’t.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is so much fun playing with your family I played with my wife and 8 year old son and we had so much fun and laughter my son really enjoyed using the club on his mom and dad lol. I would definitely recommend this product for a great fun family game anyone can enjoy

I'm glad I got Poetry for Neanderthals because it's a lot of fun for students learning languages. Although we have it in English and not other languages, it's fun to see students and professors flex their linguistic skills by coming up with single-syllable hints.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Poetry for Neanderthals is a fun and crazy word game. It is a perfect for game night, really makes you use your imagination and brain cells! A wrong word gets you bopped on head with an inflatable caveman like club. Harmless and painless. If you like a lot of laughs and soaking up a little knowledge then I recommend this game for you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] my daughter has made us play this multiple times since we got the game its fun for the whole family even my son has enjoyed trying to play it and the cards are a bit amusing to boot. i fully recommend that you try this game out with your family
