This post of Modern Board Game Night Ideas is courtesy of our contributor Dawn of Revel and Glitter…Thanks to the hygge movement, and a living in a world taken over by screens, many people are craving more face-to-face interaction. Board game nights are making a comeback; you can’t have friends come over and stare at each other. You need something for everyone to bond and laugh over and enjoy a snack or two — so you whip out the board games.

Let’s talk about what you need to host your own awesome get-together!

The Décor

I love Paper and Cake’s game night party printable set! From food signage to banners to water bottle labels, it has everything you need from a touch of simple décor to a full-blown Pinterest-inspired spread.

I used these Scrabble letters as a fun backdrop for our Ladies’ Game Night Out. Made out of thick foam, you can turn them into a table runner or as a pathway to the festivities.

The Food

Keep it simple with snacks that can be easily replenished and nibbled on during game play. Set up a fun buffet with lots of different snacks from pretzels to candy and flavored nuts!

These Monopoly bowls from Ebay would be a fun addition to your table. I scored mine during the holidays from Target, so these are the last of their kind.

Make simple cones from parchment paper to serve up snacks and keep those game-playing hands free.

I love the idea of a soft pretzel bar; DIY it! Or cater it from your local pretzel spot.

If you need something more substantial, you can provide drinks and invite everyone to bring a dish for potluck dinner. Be sure and specify what each guest should bring…or you may find yourself with quite a few brownie pans or bagged salads.

Keep your gang connected with a modern board game night in…it is an awesome way to enjoy evenings before summer activities begin.
