GAME OF THE MONTH…
We can now announce that Waterstone's exciting new Game of the Month is... Poetry for Neanderthals!
We have included some information about this game below to help you get to grips with how it all works. This game will be perfect for a rainy day, or indeed those cold dark evenings that are approaching...
Players: 2+
Ages: 7+
Gameplay: 15 minutes
Ideal for: fans of Taboo and Charades. You'll love this game if you love the game play of Pictionary and Articulate with the added challenge of only being able to use one syllable words.
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 you are only allowed to use single syllable words - if you use any words with more than one syllable, you will lose vital points and the other team gets to bop you with a two-foot inflatable club!
