“Game Night Magic: How to Host a Board Game Party Everyone Loves”

Intro:
Board game nights aren’t just games — they’re a way to build connections. Research in Leisure Studies (2019) shows that playing games together increases trust, laughter, and positive emotions (Woods, 2019).

Body:
✔️ Pick easy-to-learn games: Party games like Codenames or Dixit break the ice fast.
✔️ Have snacks & drinks that won’t ruin cards — think finger foods, popcorn, cans instead of cups.
✔️ Set up a comfy table with good lighting and enough space.
✔️ Briefly explain rules and do a practice round for beginners.

✅ Pro Tip:
Make it a theme night! Try a costume, music playlist, or game prizes to keep the energy up.

Closing:
A little prep = maximum fun. Bring people together, one game night at a time!
