[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a simple to play however so much fun game. It's good for kids and adults alike. There are plenty of cards to be able to play without repeating any cards. Set up is just a minute of so so that you can start the game quick. If is hilarious to hear everyone speak in such simple words or sentences. We laugh throughout every game we have played!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the chance to try a great game called Poetry for Neanderthals. It’s a card game from the makers of Exploding Kittens. The game is for ages 7 and up and can be played with as little as two players. The idea is to use one syllable words to get your team to guess the secret phrase. If a word more than one syllable is used, you get bonked with an inflated club, known as the “No” stick. Had a great time playing this with friends and family. It made us laugh sounding like cavemen.

The kids loved it. Group of 6th grade boys played & all assumed it would easy until they got their card & had to pause a moment, lol. Definitely different from other games we’ve played & the NO stick was hilarious! Looking forward to make this a regular game night choice at our house 😁

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.] This game has an easy concept, but you need to have the right people to play with. We tried out this game with four of us playing, various ages (all adults). Two of us are stronger with syllables and two of us are weaker - I think it would be funner if we were all about the same level? We took turns with the NO stick and the weaker people would let too much slide. It was a struggle for one to come up with one syllable words. Overall, I think this game is not for everyone and would probably pick a different game off the shelf for general audiences. Minor complaints: The NO stick is really hard to blow up. And the how-to video is too long.

We loved how easy and fun this game was! We thought it would be super hard to not say words with syllables. Well it was a challenge but overall we enjoyed this game. I love how you can purchase the extension pack if you go through the cards in the initial box.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this to review and immediately knew my daughter was going to take it so she could play it with her friends when they come over for sleepovers. She loved that it had a blow up club that you get to hit people with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a high school graduation party for my 18 year old son this past weekend. I thought this may be a fun game to try since there was a wide array of ages at the party. The youngest was 8 and the oldest was 62. Everyone had so much fun, especially when they were able to use the inflatable bat on each other! This game is so much fun and I recommend it for all ages! This is a new party staple in my household.

t get bonked in the head with the inflatable club, or the NO! stick. The game is very easy to set up and learn how to play. There are 2 teams, Team Glad and Team Mad and they each sit in alternating positions around the table. You pick who is going to be the poet and then the poet decides if they want their team to guess the 1 point word (easy) or the 3 point word (hard) and if you guess the 1 point word and still have time, you can go for the 3 point word, but if you mess up, you lose the point and have to place the card on the oops slate. We all found it very challenging NOT to use multiple syllable words and always seemed to get hit on the head with the club which, I think, we all loved the most. You then have Grok's words of love and sad cards where the winning team goes through their poetry cards and picks their 3 favorites and insert the words into the blanks in the poem. The other team has the NO! stick and decide whether to use it based on the quality of the poem. This is completely opional but still quite fun and hilarious.Everything you need is included, you get 200 poetry cards, 90 sec timer, poet point slate, team point slate, inflatable 2ft club, and 20 Grok's words of love and sad cards. There is an additional set of poetry cards that you can buy separately.

This game was so much fun and created so much laughter and joy for our family game night! I would have never guessed how difficult it can be to speak like a neanderthal! We think that talking simple would be easy....it is not! It is also a lot of fun to get to bonk your neighbor on the head when the speak too fancy or say the wrong words! It really was a lot of fun and will be a frequent flyer at our future family game nights!
