Poetry for Neanderthals is a brilliantly silly word-guessing party game where the only rule is: speak in single syllables or face the consequences. It's fast, funny, and guaranteed to reduce articulate adults to caveman-level communication.
One player draws a Poetry Card and tries to get their team to guess the listed word or phrase — but they can only use single-syllable words. Say "broccoli" and you'll get bopped on the head with the inflatable NO! Stick and lose points. The team with the most points after all cards are played wins.
What's good?
- Instantly accessible — if you can speak, you can play
- The inflatable NO! Stick makes every mistake genuinely funny
- Scales well from 2 players up to large groups
- Quick rounds keep energy high throughout
Who is it for?
- ✔ Families looking for a game everyone aged 7+ can join in
- ✔ Party hosts who need something that works with a crowd
- ✔ Anyone who enjoys word games like Taboo or Codenames
- ✖ Players looking for strategy or depth — this is pure, chaotic fun
A standalone game. No base game required.

from 35 reviewsI bought this game after reading reviews online and wasn’t disappointed, I’m now thinking about buying a few more copies as Christmas presents!!
Fast and well packaged. Brilliant free add-on to one of the best newest ttrpg
Quick Delivery, easy transaction
Had never heard of Life of games before but it was suggested by Shop app. What a good suggestion it was. The item arrived very well packed and in good time. The product itself is awesome and I feel was a good bargain too.
I would and have recommended already to friends.
Definitely a store to keep an eye on.
Thanks again. Will use again in the future for sure.
Brilliant little game. Very easy to play, very silly. Perfect to take traveling or the pub
Great place to buy from, speedy delivery, great prices. Excellent
Found some items here that were out of stock most places at very reasonable prices. Fast delivery and great service. Will be a return customer!
Great service. Ian’s packed with extreme care, individually wrapped in packaging and boxed carefully. Will definitely use again.
Fantastic to do business with
Great delivery and quality as usual.
fantastic packaging and arrived very quicky
Super speedy delivery
A great game, with short rounds, suitable for our 6 year old and even our 3 yeah old (with a bit of help). The unlock progression really helps bring in new rules and challenges, without overwhelming everyone from the very first game.
It’s not that easy finding a game that my dyslexic ADHD 10yr old son enjoys but this one ticks all his boxes! We love it!!
Fantastic price, swift delivery & EXTREMELY well packaged, which in the age of Amazon has become a forgotten art. Game arrived without a single dent or ding. Perfection & thank you.
