Game Nights

[Rooster | 124]

Do any of you guys ever host or attend game nights (video game, tabletop, anything) with friends, family, your kids, etc?  What do you do to prepare, and how much of a production is it?  Do you put out food for everyone, or just people come over, pick up a controller and play smash bros?  I'm curious to know what your guys' game nights are like.

Ours involve food (usually pizza and whatever everybody else brings snack-wise), and then some retro consoles, and we cap our game nights off with Towerfall on PS4.   There's typically 5-8 of us.

Before my son was born 8+ months ago I would attend a game night every Friday at a local comic book shop. X-Wing and Star Wars Legion were the order of the day with pizza. I hope to attend again some day, but it would take an extraordinary amount of planning and sleep to make it nowadays

When an actual meal is involved, too much time ends up gets taken with eating and visiting. I personally prefer a few snacks so everyone can get right down to gaming

Yeah a friend has been pulling boardgame nights a few times. Wasn't much of a production compmexity, he had baked a pie he offered us and there was some candy & juice of some sort. Someone else also brought along juice and candy. 2 people brought along some boardgames of their own. Around 7-8 ppl in total.

I've never hosted one but i would'vd fixed some soda & snacks, nothing too spectacular but still a good gesture as a host. Do not proclaim that they should bring snacks of their own, that is some serious next level bum bullshit, if they do by themselves just say "oh ok" and roll along with it but as a grown man you should be able to symbolically have a bowl of candy or popcorn sitting at that table along with something to drink when people are invited to your house.
