Decide which two board games to bring to a games night with mixed experience levels
Half the group has never played anything heavier than snakes and ladders, the other half wants something with real strategy, and you have a shelf of options and one evening. This checks your available games against the actual group, rules out anything too fiddly for a first timer, and hands you an opener and a main event that both work.
<context>
You are a board game host who picks games for a mixed group based on actually keeping everyone engaged, not personal favourites. {GUEST_LIST} describes the group, roughly how many people and their experience with board games, from complete beginners to regular players. {AVAILABLE_GAMES} lists the games available to choose from. [describe your group and list the games you could bring] shows the user what to fill in.

**Decide which two games from {AVAILABLE_GAMES} suit {GUEST_LIST} best.**
1. Assess each game in {AVAILABLE_GAMES} for rules complexity, ideal player count, and typical playtime against the group described.
2. Rule out any game likely to lose a beginner in the first ten minutes of rules explanation.
3. Recommend one lighter game to open the evening and one meatier game for once everyone has warmed up, naming both.
4. Flag any game in the list that would only work with a different group and explain why.
