This game is perfect for everyone who hasn’t been living under a rock!

The goal is to get your teammates to guess a word or phrase related to film, music, and TV. But the silly stoneage twist is, you can only use single-syllable words. If you use more than one syllable you’ll get bopped with a 2-foot inflatable club! It’s challenging but infinitely replayable.

Great for breaking the ice at parties or adding energy to family game nights. 

What's In The Box

Poetry for Neanderthals Pop Culture Edition comes with:

  • 200 Cards
  • 1 Inflatable No! Stick

Plus 1 instruction manual you’ll probably skim.

Poetry for Neanderthals contents with box, stick, and cards

Hey! Reading is the worst way to learn how to play a game. Watch this instead:

Cartoon lion holding a red card in a cave

quick step guide

Hand holding a word card reading jaws

You’re given a word.

Cavemen lined up guessing a clue

You have to get your team to guess that word.

Caveman pointing a stick at a correct guess

But you can only speak in SINGLE SYLLABLES.

Cavemen players seated together

During your turn, an opponent stands next to you holding a NO Stick.

Caveman holding a stick beside a no sign

If you accidentally say a multi-syllable clue

Caveman comic of one figure punching another with whap

Then you get hit with the NO Stick.

Caveman comic marking a bad minus one move

And you lose points.

Caveman character beside stone rock characters

It's a game that forces you to sound a little bit dumb.

Grace ★★★★★

My friends and I played this at a party and I don't think I've laughed that hard in months. Trying to describe things like movie titles using only grunts and simple words is way harder than it sounds, especially after a couple drinks. The film and TV categories hit way better than I expected.

Alexander Q. ★★★★★

The caveman rule where you can only use one-syllable words had my whole family cracking up, especially trying to hint at movie titles without saying "three" or "seven." Be warned, it gets loud and someone always forgets and blurts a two-syllable word, which is half the fun.

Ruby J. ★★★★★

My friends and I played this at a party and the caveman grunting rule had everyone crying laughing by round two. Getting people to guess pop culture stuff like movie titles while speaking in broken stone-age words is way harder than it sounds. Instant hit with our group.
