9 Best Board Games for Game Night

I am a huge fan of board games. As a kid our family would have game night occasionally and we would have fun competing against one another. Even now, Tracy and I enjoy hosting game night for our family or for friends. We love planning and preparing snacks and picking board games to play. In the last few years

1. One Night Ultimate Werewolf - This game is quick and great for crowds. If you buy the expansion, even more people can play! Plus it has an app you can download that makes it even easier to play.
2. The Resistance - Similar to the above game in that it is great for a crowd of people best for 6+ people.
3. Agents of Smersh - A great collaborative game for a group of friends to work towards a common goal. Plus, I love the secret agent/spy aspect of the game.
4. Mystery at the Abbey - Great for up to 6 people. This game has you constantly discovering clues and interacting with other players to determine who murdered Brother Adelmo.
5. Ticket to Ride - Depending on which Ticket to Ride game you have the amount of players varies. All of these games are super fun and easy to understand!
6. Smash Up - The amount of players will vary depending on many of the expansions you buy. The game play always changes depending on which two decks you decide to smash together to play with and what the other players choose. For example you might play with Killer Plants and with Time Travelers or you could be playing with Mythic Ponies and Steam Punks. Different decks have different effects. The first player to 15 points wins!
7. Pandemic - This is another collaborative game where you are scientists/doctors working to defeat a pandemic.
8. Shadows Over Camelot - This is a collaborative game were all players are working with King Arthur as knights of the round table to defeat evil, except one of you may be a traitor!
9. Mice and Mystics - If you want to have a regular game night then this game is perfect! It allows for 2-5 players. This game will take multiple plays to finish. It comes with a book that tells you the story for the characters and is played in chapters. With a dozen chapters until you finish. A chapter can take from 30 minutes to 90 minutes. This is collaborative game play though.

What to Wear: Board Game Night

So we are still stuck around the house from all the bad weather. We have had a lot of game nights and movie nights in the last 10 days. They have been a lot of fun, so I thought I would put together a look to wear to game night. Granted if it's just the family at game night or movie night, I dress a little more casual in sweatpants or pjs depending on how late we start. If I were going over to a friends house or having friends over though I would dress a little nicer but still casual. So for me a game night look would definitely embody comfy jeans and a tee. The colorful jacket just screams fun to me just like a game night should be. And of course you need a tote bag so that you can carry a few of your favorite games with you when you go out for game night. What would you wear to game night?

What To Wear: To Game Night

Color Block Sweater / Ticket To Ride (one of my favorite games!) / 7 Wonders / Julep Nail Polish - Marjorie / Earrings (great for everyday wear) / Boyfriend Jeans (amazing fit) / Ring Set / Loafers / Tote
Lately I have loved hosting game nights. Jessica and I have a cousin who collects board games and in the last few months we have learned about dozens of board games we never knew existed. Game nights are great for spending quality time with friends and I honestly rather spend time with my friends in one of our homes over a loud restaurant. We order pizza, set out a few snacks, and then spend a few hours laughing, talking, and eating while playing games.

During these evenings I always opt for something casual like great fitting boyfriend jeans and a comfy sweater. If a game night was being hosted at a friends house I would add a large tote to carry a few games in.
