Engaging and fun

This was a fun game that got everyone thinking. it's fun to guess the words but the addition of the syllable usage made it even more engaging. The no stick was a favorite by all players. I really love the simple additions that make this guessing game even more than what it is.

A great "hit" for family game night!

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!

Lots of Easy Fun!

A very quick learn and lots of fun. In essence it's pyramid but with one syllable words, which sounds easy but in the moment can be hard! Definitely more fun in a big group. It says 7+, but we still were able to get the younger ones in on the No! stick and they had a blast. Would recommend!

laughed til we cried

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 balls 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.

Poetry for Neanderthals

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this game a month ago and I'm really happy with the overall game. I found it to be really fun game to play with kids and family. The concept was really easy to follow and made it really fun to play with everyone. The kids had a really fun time and once the kids got used to the game they are having fun guessing the answers. I found the questions are easy for adults but are the right level for little kids if they had different levels I think it would be more fun and challenging for the adults. Overall we had a great time with the game and the accessories were fun too.

So Easy and So 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 with 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.

Laugh out loud FUN!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Don't mess up or get hit with the NO stick! We had such a fun time with this at game night. It really was a smash hit with everyone. It had all of us roaring with laughter. I highly recommend adding this to your game collection!

Great Silly Game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really enjoyed this! It reminds me a little of Taboo but simpler and more fun. The kids really enjoyed the blow up club and enjoy that just as much when they AREN'T playing the game lol. Teen boys! This has become a regular game night game. We will be looking into more games from that company!

Great game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Funny party game that adds enough twists to a typical game of Taboo to make this worthwhile. This gives your brain a silly workout as you try to figure out how to give your partner clues while only speaking like a caveman. Keeping all your clues to one syllable is stressful enough but under a time constraint and you have a pretty lively game here! I would definitely choose this over Cards Against Humanity but you have to be feeling a bit wacky and zany to get the most out of this. The inflatable "NO" stick is funny at first but becomes a bit obnoxious as the game goes on. Other than that, a funny party game to play with a family or younger gamers.

New Favorite Game

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is SO much fun. We got it to play with our 9 and 11 year olds, but ended up also playing it with some of our friends as well. It’s easy to learn, the rules are simple. Pro tip - it really does help you not say 2-syllable words if you speak like a Neanderthal.
