Papercuts: A Party Game for the Rude and Well-Read

A Card Game for Book Lovers

Show off your page-turning prowess and bust out your best book-themed jokes with this raucous party game from the wordsmiths at the indie nonprofit, Electric Literature. Papercuts is the game that Kurt Vonnegut, James Baldwin, and Virginia Woolf would play if they were all alive, locked in a room together, and forced to play a card game.

This party game for bibliophiles and pop culture fanatics follows an intuitive and popular format. The dealer lays down a Question card, and each player must fill in the blank with one of the five Answer cards in their hand. What follows is an endless loop of hilarious literary jokes and gut-busting gameplay.

Sample Questions:

  • Why does the caged bird sing?
  • Are You There God? It's Me, __________.
  • Last year's Booker Prize-winning novel is told from the perspective of __________.

Sample Answers:

  • Flannery O'Connor's peacocks
  • Atticus Finch before he was racist
  • a fifteen-page sex scene

This edition of Electric Literature's game boasts 100 question cards and 200 answer cards in a luxe, portable package. It's the perfect size to toss in a tote bag and bring to your next party for countless chapters of enjoyment.
