Poetry for Neanderthals is a fast-paced, family-friendly word guessing game where players can only use single-syllable words to get teammates to guess phrases. Featuring 200 double-sided cards, 2 game boards, and a 2-foot inflatable 'No!' Stick for hilarious penalty bops, this 15-minute game supports 2-6 players aged 7 and up.

## Description

Poetry for Neanderthals is a family-friendly party game similar to Taboo, where players earn points by getting their teammates to guess words and phrases. The catch is that the "Neanderthal Poets" are only allowed to use single-syllable words. If they use any words with more than one syllable, the other team gets to bop them with a 2-foot inflatable club. The team with the most points wins! This hilarious and engaging game is perfect for those looking for top board games for teens and board games for adults and family gatherings.

## Features

- How to Play: Enter the world of Neanderthals where communication is simple and hilarious! Get your teammates to guess words and phrases, but there’s a catch—you can only use single-syllable words. Slip up and use a big word? Get ready to be bopped with a 2-foot inflatable "No!" Stick. The team with the most points at the end wins, but not without a lot of laughs along the way!
- What’s Included: Poetry for Neanderthals comes packed with 200 double-sided cards, 2 game boards, a 2-foot inflatable "No!" Stick (plus a repair patch for extra bopping). Also included is an instruction manual (that you’ll probably skim) to get you started on your prehistoric adventure.
- Who's it For?: Perfect for 2-6 players, ages 7 and up, this family-friendly game is great for kids, teens, and adults. Whether you’re looking for a fun way to spend family game night or want to add some laughter to your next party, Poetry for Neanderthals is the perfect choice.
- Where to Play: Ideal for family game nights, parties, or gatherings with friends, Poetry for Neanderthals is also perfect for travel, camping, or any time you want to inject some prehistoric fun into your day. Easy to learn and endlessly entertaining, it’s a game that everyone will enjoy, no matter their age.
- Our Story: From the creators of Exploding Kittens and the mind behind The Oatmeal, Poetry for Neanderthals offers a unique blend of wordplay and slapstick humor. Backed by a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign and part of the Exploding Kittens universe (now even on Netflix!), this game continues to delight players worldwide with its simple rules and uproarious gameplay.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I lose the inflatable club, would it be safe to replace it with a real club, truncheon, or large stick for game use?**
A: I would only recommend a real club if you first equip it with spikes.  Games with consequences keep everyone on their feet!

**Q: Is the club a suitable improvised self-defense implement in emergencies?**
A: Absolutely not! The club is inflatable, and would not be useful as a weapon at all.

**Q: We can’t blow up the “No” stick. Any suggestions?**
A: We're so sorry to hear that! Please email support@explodingkittens.com so we can get you a replacement inflatable No Stick right away.

**Q: Can three people play this game?**
A: Three people could play but one person would have to play on both teams. It works best with 4 or more.
