5 tips to make your game night a winner
1. Choose the right theme—There are games of strategy, trivia, lying—aka bluffing—teams, low-brow laughs and even family-friendly fun.
2. Feed the players—You have to fuel the fun. You could fuss with a meal or potluck or just grab some trays and make it easy and crowd-pleasy. Roly Poly has hot and cold sandwiches, soups and salads to keep your players in tip top shape. They even deliver!
3. Define your gaming area—Some games take a while. Give your guests a comfortable place to sit. Surround your coffee table with decorative pillows and pop small pillows on dining chairs for a little extra comfort. You can set up multiple gaming areas so guests can rotate between different options.

4. Stock your supplies—Make sure your games have all their pieces. Gather paper and pencils if the game calls for it so you don’t have to scurry around while your guests are ready to play.
5. Remember the basics—Have food and beverage stations ready and don’t forget to check trash and recycle bins as well as your bathroom supplies.
