10.1 - Poetry for Neanderthals

Poetry for Neanderthals is a party game where players must communicate a word to their teammates without saying the word itself. Simple enough in theory, but to make things harder, players can only use single-syllable words. Use any longer words, and your opponents get to hit you with a comically oversized inflatable club!

Read a book where all the words in the title consist of a single syllable, e.g. The Night Watch, Ice Song, Of Mice and Men

Is one word titles ok?

[Jayne, Moderator Emeritus]

Yes, a one word title works as long as that one word is only a single syllable, e.g. Mort

[Marie (UK)]

for the purpose of this task do you consider WORLD - a one syllable word - there are sites that suggest it might be one and others two depending on how you say it

[Jayne, Moderator Emeritus]

I'd count world as a single syllable, yes.

What about subtitles - must they be included?

Thanks!

No, just the title. You can have as many syllables as you like in the subtitle.

Can it be a two word but hyphenated title? I'd like to use sea-change, would this be acceptable?

SRC default rules say that hyphenating a word makes it a single word. Sadly that makes sea-change a single word with two syllables, so I'm afraid not!
