Choose a board game

Add games someone can bring and teach. Check player count and time against tonight, not against the best night you have ever had.

How will you use this list?

Check player count and time against the people who are coming.

Try 4–8 options to keep voting quick. Maximum 16.

Keep personal information out of shared lists. Group options can’t be edited after creation because everyone needs to rank the same list.

The deadline uses your local time. Voting closes then, even if some people haven’t voted. Reaching the expected number doesn’t close it.

A game someone can teach tonight

A useful starting point

“Four adults, 90 minutes including the teach, games we own.” Ticket to Ride, Azul, Just One, and Codenames are examples of the kind of box that often fits. Use the copies on your shelf, not the examples.

Count the people in the room

A game for exactly two will not host six. Check the box against tonight’s headcount, including anyone arriving late.

Only list games you can teach

If nobody has played it, it is a research project, not a plan. Put it on a future list after someone has read the rules.

Time includes the teach

A box that says 45 minutes may be 70 with new players. If you have an hour, say so in the title and prefer a shorter game.

Unfamiliar is not last place

Leave a game unchecked if you cannot judge it. The result shows how many people ranked each option. A 100 from one person is not the table’s verdict.
