Expert Event Planning Tips
- Prioritize 'dry' finger foods like pretzels and bite-sized snacks, and provide chopsticks or tongs for chips to keep cards and dice grease-free.
- Set up drinks and heavier foods on a dedicated side table away from the main board to avoid catastrophic spills during high-stakes turns.
- Stock plenty of wet wipes and extra napkins directly next to the gaming table for quick cleanups between rounds.
- Schedule a dedicated 15-minute 'half-time' intermission between heavy games to let everyone grab hot slices of pizza and refill drinks.
