[1] Magnetic Poetry Kit ($19) [2] Paper Cuts: A Party Game for the Rude and Well-Read ($15) [3] Scrabble ($16)The problem slash greatest asset of reading is that it happens most effectively alone, and even though a good 90% of my end game in life involves sitting sideways and very silently on one end of a couch with a book while friends and loved ones and casual sexual partners sit very silently on other furniture nearby, sometimes you just want to talk to living breathing people you’re not making up in your head, you know? Anyway Scrabble is perfect. These other games look okay, too.
