Great for people that love word games!

Our 13-year-old daughter brought this game to a sleepover with five of her friends, and she said they all absolutely loved it. They played for hours! All the girls are avid readers and really enjoyed the "Poetry for Neanderthals" part of the game, where you have to guess a word based on one-syllable clues. If someone guesses wrong, they get playfully whacked with the inflatable stick (included). This fun and creative word game is made by Exploding Kittens, and the concept is simple: “Speak Good or Get Hit with Stick.” The game comes with playing cards, score trackers placemats, a sand timer, an inflatable club, and even a patch kit for any accidental damage.

Packaging could have been more substantial; I felt that this item was not protected in an open paper bag on my front porch.

Fun but bat broke at the seam

Such an amazing party game for all ages, But the bat broke at the seam where it cannot be patched. If a replacement bat can be acquired i would love that because the game just isnt the same without it.

Simple Yet Super Fun

Bought this for my 19 year old as a stocking stuffer. He had a few friends come over our house on New Year’s Eve. They had a ball playing that game. There were screaming and hitting ( all in fun I assure you). Fast paced so never a dull moment. Would highly recommend it.

Interesting Game

Thought this would be a fun game to play on game night. The kids loved the no stick. My youngest did not like the actual game at all just the no stick. My oldest loved it though. It was different. Not sure how much we will play it. But I would still recommend it.

Love the bat!

This is a fun game for at least 4 players. It says 2 or more, but I do think it's a lot more fun with more players. Once you get the hang of it, it provides lots of fun and laughter. It is now one of our go to games on game night. I love that it's packed in a small box and it really makes you think!
