About the game
What you do in a play session
If you, the 'Poet,' slip up and use a word with more than one syllable, brace yourself for the worst: a (fun!) whack on the head with the inflatable NO! Stick. Not only that, but your team loses points. The goal is simple: get your team to guess the secret word before time runs out, accumulating as many points as possible. It's a fast-paced, chaotic game that guarantees plenty of laughs, perfect for livening up any gathering. With varied cards and a fun inflatable component, Poetry for Neanderthals is the perfect recipe for a memorable game night filled with linguistic blunders.
