Hosting a game night at your Randolph Towers apartment is a great way to have a good time with some friends! In today’s Blog post, we will be sharing the basics that you need to know to throw a memorable and fun game night here in Arlington, VA.
Choosing the Best Games
When planning a game night, it’s important to keep in mind the players. Unless you’re planning your evening around a group that all loves one type of game, it’s a good idea to have a variety that people can choose from. The last thing you want is to have a game that takes an hour to explain, or for someone to be left out because they can’t play or don’t want to play a certain type of game. So choosing simple word or card games is always a good idea due to the high number of players that can join a game.
Food and Drinks
Establish beforehand if you will be providing food and drinks. We suggest keeping it simple with a few low mess snacks that are easy to eat while you play. You might want to avoid greasy or sticky foods as they can get on the cards or game pieces and make for an uncomfortable playing experience for everyone. Provide napkins and hand sanitizer to your guests to avoid a disaster. Another option would be to ask your guests to bring an appetizer or snack to share and make it a potluck-style game night!
Seating and Space
Make sure you have enough comfortable seating for everyone. You might need to rearrange some furniture to make enough space or to allow everyone to sit near each other, but don’t worry, you can just move it back later. Odds are people will be sitting quite a bit during the evening, so get something that you’d feel comfortable sitting on for a few hours. Keep plenty of pillows available, too!
