## Description
Get ready for some serious laughs and a hilariously challenging vocabulary test with Poetry for Neanderthals! This party game pits you and your friends against the clock (literally, 90 seconds!) to decipher words and phrases. The catch? You can only use single-syllable words to give clues. Yes, you read that right: ONE SYLLABLE! Forget complex words like 'computer' or 'internet'; think more along the lines of 'thing to watch movies' or 'net to talk far away.'

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.
