Poetry for Neanderthals is a family-friendly party game similar to Taboo where players earn points by getting their teammates to guess words and phrases. The catch is that the "Neanderthal Poets" are only allowed to use single syllable words. If they use any words with more than one syllable, the other team gets to bop them with a 2-foot inflatable club!
How to Play
It's good to be a Poet.
It's good to be a Neanderthal.
What isn't good is being both of those things at the same time.
As a Poet, you'd love to recite thoughtful prose like:
The mighty Wolly Mammoth makes a mockery of my tiny hairless body.
But as a Neanderthal, you're only capable of saying: The most strong big thing with trunk and much hair make fun of my too small bald bones and skin.
Poetry for Neanderthals is a competitive word-guessing game where you can
only give clues by speaking in single syllables. So, instead of saying "broccoli," you'd say something like "green thing you eat for live long and have good health." If you mess up and use a big word, such as "vegetable," you get bopped on the head with a NO! Stick. It's a game that forces you to explain complicated ideas using simple vocabulary and sound a little bit dumb.
It's a game of poetry.
It's Poetry for Neanderthals.
PRO-TIP: Try to use full Neanderthal sentences instead of single words.
