Poetry for Neanderthals

Deduction and Guessing Games

Poetry for Neanderthals is a guessing game with a dedicated deck in which players guess terms from clues made only of single-syllable words. Exploding Kittens released it in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The clue restriction to single-syllable words is the defining rule of play. The lead of the source article is brief, so this entry records only the game type, the clue rule, the publisher and the 2020 release, and leaves further detail to a later pass.
