Game is fun but our inflatable club came broken

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 December 2024Style Name: Poetry for NeanderthalsPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseEnjoyable game which all can quickly get to grips with and take part. The stick does deflate and it will be a chore to fix but a patch is included with the box. Has some amercan slang or phrases that would not be able to get to but can add to the fun! Hey batter, batter?! We enjoyed and will pick up to play a lot.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 December 2024Style Name: Poetry for NeanderthalsPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseThis was a Xmas gift for a family member that likes to play games.
This was different to other games we play, but it was fun!
Easy to learn, just use one syllable words, use 2 and get hit!
Can be quite difficult to describe things, makes you think, but when in the swing of it you find yourself rambling off one word sentences.
If you buy the NSFW version, please do not play around kids!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2024Style Name: Poetry for NeanderthalsPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseA very simple yet super fun game. It is family friendly, and the kids particularly enjoy using the inflatable club to dish out the retribution when you misspeak! I've also played with a group of adults and it is just as fun.
There's a good number of cards to give the game a lifespan, so you won't get bored after one game!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 December 2022Style Name: Poetry for NeanderthalsPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseWe loved Exploding Kittens but couldn't figure out Unstable Unicorns (and looking for help online, it seemed others hadn't figured it out either.) So we weren't sure what we were getting into here. We took a chance on it anyway.
Pros: it's a really interesting concept. Trying to articulate clues using words of one syllable is more difficult than you'd imagine. And hitting each other with the inflatable stick when they accidentally use two or more syllable words is good fun. We have a 'one bash per syllable' rule for these words. So say "Constantinople" and you get hit 5 times.
Cons: it says it's a 2 player game, but reading the rules, I think it only really works properly if you can form at least 2 teams of 2 or more people each. The special rules for 2 (and probably 3) players don't seem particularly competitive. Oh, and lots of Americanisms in there that can be quite frustrating for we British English speakers when we've never heard of the phrases we're supposed to be performing or guessing.
But we've just had great fun for several hours today as 2 players working through the cards and seeing if we can communicate the 3 point answers to each other.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2024Style Name: Poetry for NeanderthalsPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseBought for a friend and played it with them - now buying my own as it was great easy fun and laughs.
I kept thinking in one syllable words for a while afterwards.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2024Style Name: Poetry for NeanderthalsPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseThis is an absolute must for any boardgame enthusiast, and is suitable for all ages. I've played it at weddings, at boardgame nights, at parties, drunk, sober, and it never ever gets old. Learning how to speak in one syllable words against the clock creates some absolutely unforgettable moments with friends and family.
The actual contents of the box are of high quality, though I will admit it can be somewhat difficult to inflate the club with just your mouth so you may want to get a small air pump to save you five minutes of blue faced puffing.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2024Style Name: Poetry for NeanderthalsPattern Name: SingleVerified Purchase“Ball go up; ball go down. What ball do?” You can’t think of the word ‘bounce’? Fine, your family will mock you for ever. “Small grain, put in hot box go ping”, your mum will laugh until she weeps, even if she doesn’t get ‘popcorn’. My entire family is dead from laughing. This review coming to you from “hot bad place get poked by red dude with horns”. Fun for all ages, but please ensure elderly players are bopped gently, it’s only fair.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2023Style Name: Poetry for NeanderthalsPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseBought this for my husbands birthday weekend as we normally spend it with friends, tucked away in a country Air bnb. Although slightly sceptical about the concept and playability for those participants for whom the word "Poetry" fills them with fear, dread or just plain boredom, once we got going and everybody realised that it wasn't poetry at all most of the time we spent rolling around with laughter. The "NO" stick was a bonus which added to the hilarity of the game. However, we had to impose penalties for the stick wielders who took liberties with how much force was used to carry out their duties.
Why we haven't given the game more than 3 stars is that the subject matter and words that you need to describe are written for American players. For example: one card will have the 1 point word CANDY written at the top and for the 3 points COTTON CANDY. In the UK the word CANDY is very rarely used and nobody would say Cotton Candy is it's known over here as CANDY FLOSS. There were also cards that referred to American football player positions etc.
Aesthetically there is little to say about the actual game as it's quite simple. The packaging is engaging but a little oversized if you're thinking of taking it away and space/weight is an issue.
The price is a bit steep for what it is, but if Exploding Kitten make available an expansion card kit for the game, as they have for some of their other games, as well as a UK compatible version, it'll certainly give dividends in laughter for many years to come.
Overall we really liked the game and hope that Exploding Kitten look at making a UK version. We like it so much that we have already customised our set by printing out alternative phrases and words on stickers to replace some of the US cards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harder than you think but lots of fun!
Style Name: Poetry for NeanderthalsPattern Name: SingleVerified PurchaseThe game is very simple. You get a 1 and a 3 point clue. You have to speak in one syllable words (like a Neanderthal) if you don't, your enforcer from the other team gets to bop you on the head with an inflatable club. The big words don't trip you up, it's the smaller words like "only" or "bigger".
Everyone is split into two teams and you have one minute to get through as many clues as possible. You get penalized a point if you break the rules and get bopped on the head.
This is great for almost any age from kids to adults, and the games go by quickly. As soon as everyone has had three turns you tally up the score.
There are no questionable clues in the original edition so it's perfect for the whole family!
