Poetry for Neanderthals Challenges Players to Speak in Single Syllables

— July 23, 2020 — Life-Stages
The creators of Exploding Kittens, a card game that went viral on Kickstarter and became the most-backed project on the platform to date, are now introducing a brand-new game called Poetry for Neanderthals. The fast-paced word-guessing game for two or more players restricts players to only speaking in single syllables. For instance, rather than saying the word "broccoli," players will describe something like "green thing you eat for live long and have good health." If a big word gets used, players will get hit with the inflatable stick.

The game is all about communicating complicated ideas in a simple way, making it appealing to adults and kids alike. The fun and fast-paced game only takes minutes to learn and a game lasts anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes.
