There’s a heatwave tearing across the city of New York, readers.

In fact, it’s historic, with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees in June for the first time since 2012. And we can think of no better activity than sitting inside, in the air conditioning, and playing a little game. It’s best to find something to do, because this one’s a doozy.

And speaking of doozies, we’re only a few weeks away from Amazon’s huge Prime Day Sale, running from July 8 through 11.

The kicker: Early Prime Day deals are already here. And there are even some that can help get you through this heatwave and the subsequent week of rain NYC has headed its way, like this Classic Scrabble Board Game, available for 47% off ahead of Amazon’s huge summer sale.

Disconnect for a while, and remind yourself how much fun it is to play the OG Words with Friends, IRL, for nearly half off today on Amazon.

Classic Scrabble is a timeless word game where players use letter tiles to create words on a 15×15 board. Points are earned based on letter values and bonus squares. It combines strategy, vocabulary, and a bit of luck, making it popular with all ages. Scrabble encourages learning and fun, whether played casually or in competitive tournaments. Best of all? It’s available for 47% off today on Amazon.
