Stick penalty, and a 15-minute playtime, it’s designed for 2-6 players aged 7 and up.

## Description

Competitive word guessing game using single-syllable words to get team to guess phrases, with inflatable "No!" stick penalty. 2-6 players, 15 minutes of laughter.

Review: Great fun and good replay value - Great fun for a range of ages. Definitely helped having a couple of drinks before hand to loosen everyone up a little but it was a blast and everyone had a great time with this one. Great pacing and good quality yet quite novel with the inflatable club adding in some extra laughs - though once we got serious we forgot about it half the time and just stormed on! Great value for money and great set to start off.
Review: Me talk dumb. Game make brain hurt. We have best time. - This game is pure chaotic joy. You’re only allowed to speak in one-syllable words while trying to get your team to guess phrases like “polar bear” or “baby shower.” Sounds easy? Nope. It’s like trying to give directions while your vocabulary goes on strike. The fun is non-stop — kids, adults, grandparents, even the moody teenager laughed. It’s rare to find a game that levels the playing field, where even the most articulate person ends up sounding like a confused Neanderthal yelling, “wet food for face!” Now, about the quality — it’s genuinely well made. Cards are sturdy, easy to read, and the game is compact and simple to set up. And then… there’s the No Stick. It’s inflatable, hilarious, and YES, it comes with a hole in it on purpose so it doesn’t pop during gameplay. At first I thought it was defective. Then I realised it's just... brilliantly dumb by design. In terms of value for money, it’s great. You get loads of cards, endless replayability, and big laughs for a reasonable price. Plus, you don’t need any batteries, screens, or extra patience, just the ability to sound like you’ve never learned to speak. If you're looking for something light, fast-paced, and guaranteed to cause hilarious speech malfunctions, this is it. A total hit for game nights, rainy afternoons, or surviving family gatherings with a smile.

## 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), and a sand timer. 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.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hilarious fun!
*by E***R on 5 January 2026*

Hilarious game and harder than you'd think. You can easily play a few short rounds if you want something quick or play for hours! We played as a group of 3 which meant playing a slightly adapted version - I'm not sure if we followed the actual instructions or just made up our own but it was a lot of fun, though we did struggle a little to keep up with scores (and we didn't understand the score sheet thing? Maybe if we had utilised that properly it would have made keeping up with scores easier! The no stick is hilarious but also a lethal weapon. Definitely don't whack too hard - it can and will rebound and you'll take a bat to the face which wouldn't be pleasant.
