Straight out of a Monty Python skit, the Table Topics game gives you & your pals a little nudge into the conversation realm.
Run out of things to talk about? Why just open up Table Topics, pull out a card & get to talkin’. The game features a series of cards with questions ranging from money to marriage to death to salesmen.
I’m thinking that for $30 I can grab a newspaper or Nietzsche & have myself a ball of interesting & thought-provoking questions. Maybe I should set up a phone line so you can call me when you need to have suggestions for conversations….
