The Virginia Gentlemen Endorse: Hypertheticals

There are no shortage of ways to get a party started: a favorite beverage, choice tunes, or some fly dance moves.  However, an oft-overlooked method is a game.  An inexpensive option that we recommend is Hypertheticals.  Written by the pop culture essayist Chuck Klosterman, who you might also know from his epic turns on Bill Simmons' B.S. Report, Hypertheticals its a set of fifty cards with creative hypothetical questions that lead to very interesting conversations.  It's like "Would you rather?" but far more clever.  If you like Klosterman's work in general or getting to know your friends and repeated acquaintances better, Hypertheticals delivers.  There's not much more I can say about the game, as my fellow Gentlemen are preparing a round of Old Fashioneds and for a few rounds of the game.

Highly recommended.  Far more than Klosterman's novel.
