Poetry for Neanderthals Me like game. You will like game. Say word to make you get word. See? Good. Any game that comes with an inflatable club in it is already onto a winner. Poetry for Neanderthals is a word game take on other style word games with some interesting twists on the guessing formula. You play as two or more teams of cave people poets. On your teams turn one of you will volunteer for the poet role and draw a word card. Word cards are double sided and have one easy and one difficult option on each side. The box is designed really well too - with used cards separated from unused ones with a divider so you don't repeat until you have been through both sides of the cards. That will take a good few plays! Once you have a poet the timer is turned and they the poet starts giving clues to their team. The catch being that you can only use one syllable words - you are a cave person after all! If you use a word of more than one syllable the other teams can club you with the inflatable 'NO' club and you will lose points. You are allowed to say correct words once your team has said them though. So if the clue was sore eye and your team said 'eye' you could then start saying it too. When you step up as the poet it is surprising how quickly you find yourself descending into the language of a cave dweller. It may be subconscious suggestion by the theme but whatever it certain results in some giggles. Trying to describe things quickly while counting your syllables results in some existential questions and you doubting you actually know what a syllable is anymore. Add to this the constant threat of inflatable violence and your game night will be a great laugh. Players: 2-12 Time: 15 mins Age: 7+
