Poetry for Neanderthals is a fun, family-friendly party game that puts a prehistoric twist on word-guessing games like Taboo. Players earn points by getting their teammates to guess words and phrases, but there's a catch: the "Neanderthal Poets" can only use single-syllable words to describe the clues. If they accidentally use a word with more than one syllable, the opposing team gets to bop them with a 2-foot inflatable club. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!

This simple yet hilarious challenge makes for a great time, as players struggle to communicate using only the most basic language, leading to plenty of laughs and creative thinking.
