Poetry for Neanderthals
Players take turns as the clue-giver, trying to get teammates to guess words or phrases by speaking only in single-syllable words within a 90-second timer. If the clue-giver uses a multi-syllable word, opponents enforce a penalty by striking an inflatable NO! Stick and the team loses points. Rounds score points for correct guesses and the play continues with different clue-givers until a team reaches the highest total. The box includes a deck of cards with target words, a sand timer, an inflatable penalty stick, and scoring slates.

Garfield2.0 Imho it just doesn't work in german because german is a language with more syllables than english.
