What is Included in an Epic Game Night?

No matter your age you can agree that game nights are always a hit with friends. Game nights are a great excuse to gather with friends and have a fun night bonding. Epic game nights consist of your favorite games, food, drink, a perfect amount of people, and a comfortable atmosphere.

Types of Games 

When thinking about the types of games you are going to have at your home when hosting a game night, think about the types of people you are going to be inviting. Do your friends enjoy card games or board games more? Once you decide this, pick out a few games and make them visible, so your guests can pick which game they want to play. If the games aren’t picked out before your friends arrive it can delay the game from starting. 

Perfect Amount of People

Before inviting everyone you love over for a game night think about the amount of space you have to offer. You don’t want your guest to be uncomfortable if there isn’t enough setting for everyone. Additionally, each game has a specific number of people that can play, so you want to be sure everyone can play. Between 4-8 people are the perfect number of friends to have for your game night. Remember the purpose of an epic game night is to be able to play not host a large party. 

Cuisine 

You don’t want your friends hungry during the game. By having a few snacks you can be sure everyone will be satisfied. The following snacks are some of our favorites to offer when hosting a game night: taco dip, veggies and ranch dip, chips, popcorn, and meatballs. These snacks are easy to eat and won’t make a big mess on the gaming items. To help prevent any damage to cards, boards, and dice, have plenty of napkins near everyone. This way people can reach napkins after eating a few snacks. 

Drink

Alcohol isn’t a must at game nights but it can help people feel less tense when playing games. If you do offer alcoholic drinks be sure to also offer soda and water. It is important that everyone has a drink of their liking at game night. Keep your guests hydrated, so they will be ready to play. 

Atmosphere

We touched on the importance of having an available setting for all guests, let’s look at the best atmosphere for your epic night. Your friends are going to be sitting most likely in the same chair the entire night. Thus, you want to make sure your guests have a comfortable chair or couch to sit in with plenty of room. Moreover, it is important to have a hangout area to chat after the gaming is over so everyone can mingle and see each other.
